Why was LEASA Living Alfalfa Sprouts recalled?
According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Seeds may have been contaminated with E. coli.” In plain terms, this recall relates to E. coli.
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a large group of bacteria. While most types are harmless, certain strains such as O157:H7 can produce toxins that cause illness. Public health agencies note that symptoms can include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting, with young children and older adults facing a greater risk of complications.
What should you do?
If you think you may have bought LEASA Living Alfalfa Sprouts, compare it against the product description and identifying codes (Expiration Date (s): 9/4/26, 9/8/26, 9/10/26, 9/15/26, 9/17/26, 9/18/26) before using it. This recall is currently listed as ongoing.
The general guidance for a matching product is to stop using it and follow the instructions in the official FDA recall notice, which may include a repair, replacement, refund, or safe disposal. When in doubt, contact LEASA Industries Co., Inc. or your local health authority.

What to do if you already bought it
Do not eat the product, even if it looks and smells normal — contamination is usually invisible.
