Dataset Description
A targeted survey on bacterial pathogens in bean sprouts and seed sprouts analysed 3,221 samples for Salmonella, E. coli O157, and generic E. coli. Some of these samples were also tested for non-O157 STEC. E. coli O157 was not found in any samples. Six samples were found to contain non-O157 STEC. Salmonella was found in three samples. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency conducted appropriate follow-up activities for the Salmonella contaminated samples resulting in product recalls and/or the implementation of corrective actions by the processing facilities. No reported illnesses were in association with any of the Salmonella positive samples.
