South Australians are being warned not to eat alfalfa sprout products produced by Adelaide business SA ...Sprouts, after several people became ill with Salmonella havana.
SA Sprouts products are sold at Drakes Foodland, IGA and numerous greengrocers.
Products included in the recall are: - alfalfa (125g and 200g tubs, 1kg bags) - green alfalfa (125g tubs) - alfalfa and radish (125g tubs) - alfalfa and onion (125g tubs) - alfalfa and mustard (125g tubs) - alfalfa and Chinese cabbage (125g tubs) - alfalfa and garlic (125g tubs) - salad mix (175g tubs) - gourmet sprouts (100g trio pack with alfalfa, snow pea, small sprouted bean).
People can experience symptoms of salmonella infection between six and 72 hours after exposure and symptoms usually last for three to seven days.
Symptoms include fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, headaches, stomach cramps and loss of appetite.
Anyone who develops these symptoms and is concerned should see their doctor, particularly young children, older people, pregnant women and people who are immunocompromised because they are at risk of more severe illness.
