FRIDAY, July 18, 2025 -- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, along with public health officials in several states, are investigating a multistate Salmonella outbreak linked to recalled frozen sprouted beans.

On July 16, Chetak LLC Group recalled Deep brand frozen sprouted moong (mung) beans and frozen sprouted moth (mat) beans.

Both Deep brand Sprouted Moong and Sprouted Mat were sold in 16-oz packages with the following codes printed on the back side of the bag: IN 24330, 25072, 25108, 24353, 25171, 24297, 25058, 25078, 24291, 25107, 24354, and 24292.

So far, 11 people have become ill with the same strain of Salmonella after consumption of Deep brand sprouted beans. Four people have been hospitalized. There have been no deaths reported to date.

Businesses and customers are urged not to sell, serve, or eat the recalled sprouted beans. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

A thorough cleaning should follow the disposal of the contaminated products. Any surfaces or containers that may have come into contact with products need to be sterilized to reduce the risk for cross-contamination. Businesses and consumers can refer to the FDA's Safe Food Handling instructions for cleaning guidance.

Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever, vomiting, stomach cramps, and dehydration. Most people recover within a week, but serious illness can occur, especially in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems, according to the CDC.

Routine testing by the FDA identified the potential for contamination. While the agency and the company continue their investigation into the source of the problem, production of the product has been suspended.
