At least 44 people nationwide have fallen ill, including cases in South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria.The recall was initiated after a joint investigation by health and food regulatory authorities identified an increase in an unusual type of Salmonella infection. Parilla Fresh has voluntarily recalled the product as further testing is conducted. The affected alfalfa sprouts were sold in 125g packages with use-by dates up to and including 20 November 2025, available at major supermarkets such as Coles and Woolworths in South Australia.
