Scientific Opinion on the risk posed by Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and other pathogenic bacteria in seeds and sprouted seeds

2011-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Sprouted seeds are young seedlings obtained from the germination of seeds. They are ready-to-eat foods which have caused large outbreaks. The bacterial pathogens most frequently associated with illness due to contaminated sprouted seeds are Salmonella and to a lesser extent STEC. Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia enterocolitica have also been transmitted by sprouted seeds,...
