The CDC’s investigation update identified the pathogen and noted the geographic spread to Utah and neighboring states. The report also noted that the cases spanned neighboring states beyond Utah, suggesting broader distribution. Subsequent reports detailed recalls of the implicated sprouts.

The Idaho Statesman explained that Evergreen Fresh Sprouts, LLC withdrew the product from shelves, while the Tacoma News Tribune noted additional grocery stores in Washington pulling similar items. The recalled product was distributed by an Idaho company specializing in fresh produce. This contrasts with the CDC, New York Times, and state outlets that consistently attribute the illnesses to salmonella linked to broccoli sprouts.

No source in the provided set reconciles the differing pathogen descriptions, indicating a discrepancy in reporting. Consumers who may have purchased the sprouts are urged to discard them.
