Were You Affected by the Broccoli Sprouts Outbreak?

Answer these quick questions to help our legal team understand the medical and exposure evidence.

Did you consume raw broccoli sprouts, or raw sprouts you couldn't identify, bought at a grocery store or food co-op or served at a restaurant during the outbreak period?

You don't need a package or receipt to contact us. Tell us where and when you ate sprouts and when you became ill. CDC reports illness onsets from July 7 through August 26, 2026. Those are illness dates, not a purchase or meal cutoff.

Were you diagnosed with Salmonella by a doctor or lab test?

A positive stool culture or lab confirmation strengthens your case significantly.

Did you require medical treatment or hospitalization?

Medical records documenting your illness are crucial evidence.

Have you been contacted by a state or local health department about this illness?

If not, you may still have a valid claim. Choose the closest answer.

Symptoms to Watch

Salmonella Symptoms

FDA says Salmonella illness usually starts 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food and usually lasts four to seven days

Nausea, Vomiting, and Bloody Diarrhea

The recall notice posted by FDA adds nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, and notes that the diarrhea may be bloody

Infection Beyond the Gut

In rare cases, Salmonella can enter the bloodstream and cause more serious illness

More Severe Illness in Some People

CDC says children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems may have more severe illness that needs medical treatment or a hospital stay
