Sprouts are enjoyed by many consumers for their taste and nutritional value. However, recent outbreaks of illness associated with sprouts have demonstrated a potentially serious human health risk associated with this food. The California Department of Public Health, Food and Drug Branch and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration jointly developed this video in cooperation with the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, university researchers, and industry representatives to assist the industry in producing a safer product. The video may also be useful for retailers, regulators, and anyone working with the industry that wants to better understand the product and current recommendations for best production practices.
