Safe Sprouted Seeds – Interventions and Regulations
(Webinar length:  1hr 35min)

Overview:

The following webinar will provide an overview of sprouted seeds: types available, production,
the sources of contamination and intervention strategies. Guidelines published by different
agencies to enhance the microbiological safety of sprouted seeds will be described. The
different approaches taken by agencies to introduce regulations to seed suppliers and sprout
producers will be outlined. An update of interventions to enhance sprouted seed safety will be
reviewed along with directions in regulatory policy discussed.

In the latter part of 2014 we have witnessed three major outbreaks linked to sprouted seeds
implicating Salmonella, Escherichia coli O121 and Listeria monocytogenes. In some
respects, sprout related foodborne illness outbreaks are not unexpected given over 55 have
occurred in the past 16 years. One would suspect that in the face of food safety issues linked
to sprouted seeds that the industry would review its practices with the aim of moving forward.
The reality is that the industry diversified into different sprout types away from the commonly
implicated alfalfa. The sprout types may have changed but the food safety risks remained the
same. With three foodborne illness outbreaks in quick succession, the sprouted seed industry
has reached a cross-roads where inaction is no longer an option.

Areas covered in the webinar:

Description of the sprouted seed market
Foodborne illness outbreaks linked to sprouted seeds
