Are alfalfa sprouts still verboten?

Posted by baboo, April 28, 2007

Years ago we were strongly advised against eating packaged alfalfa sprouts because of the stratospheric numbers of bacteria found in them. At the time I lived in NYC; I remember the stuff disappearing from the shelves. Now I live in the mountains, about 200 miles north. I hesitated to buy a container recently, when I suddenly realized I've been eating alfalfa sprouts in local restaurants for almost a decade. Comments?
