Specialty Farms Recall Listeria Sprouts

By Bill Marler

Specialty Farms LLC, Bridgeport, Conn., is voluntarily recalling packs of its organic alfalfa sprouts blend and organic sprout salad.

The 4-ounce packs, which have a July 26 sell-by date, were sold to Schenectady, N.Y.-based Golub Corp.-owned Price Chopper supermarkets and Coosemans New York Inc. and were distributed to stores and customers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and Pennsylvania.

The packs were sold with UPC codes 8192400108 for the alfalfa sprouts and 8192400024 for the organic sprout salads.  The recall does not include packs dated from July 27 and after.  In a July 23 FDA news release, Specialty Farms said it was trying to determine where the potential contamination occurred in its facility and was working to halt the organism's spread.
