Sprouters Northwest is expanding its recall of sprout products to include all varieties of sprouts products, wheatgrass, and pea shoots because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The previous recall was issued on February 2, 2013.

Trader Joe’s Organic Pea Shoots, with SKU number 92756, packaged in a 4 ounce plastic clamshell and offered for sale ONLY in Oregon and Washington States are also recalled. The best by dates are through 2/16/13. In addition, the recalled sprouts were also sold in Idaho.

If you purchased these products, return them to the place of purchase for a refund. For questions and more information, call Sprouters Northwest at 1-253-872-0577 from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm PT.
