If you purchased these sprouts, do not eat them. If you used them to make a recipe and froze that recipe, freezing does not destroy E. coli bacteria. You can throw the sprouts away in a secure trash can with a tight fitting lid after first double bagging the container so others can’t see it, or you can take it back to the store where you bought it for a full refund.
If you ate these sprouts, monitor your health for the symptoms of an E. coli food poisoning infection for the next week. If children ate these sprouts, monitor their health for the symptoms of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a type of kidney failure, which is a complication of an E. coli infection. If you or anyone in your family does get sick, see your doctor.
