A multistate outbreak of E. coli and Salmonella has sickened at least 55 individuals across 15 states, prompting health officials to issue warnings and a recall of alfalfa sprouts linked to the infections. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has traced the source of the outbreak back to a Minnesota grower, with reports indicating that several of those affected have been hospitalized. Authorities are urging consumers to check their refrigerators for potentially contaminated sprouts and are closely monitoring the situation as investigations continue.
