Read the official U.S. Food and Drug Administration recall notice
todd’s seeds recall details were posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on October 7, 2026. The recall involves TODD’S SEEDS LLC and its Alfalfa & Mung Bundle. The bundle may contain alfalfa seed that a supplier recalled. That seed may be contaminated with E. coli and/or Salmonella. The FDA classified this as a Class I recall, its most serious category. If you grow sprouts at home, this notice deserves your attention.
What the Todd’S Seeds Recall Covers
The recalled product is the Todd’s Seeds Alfalfa & Mung Bundle. Each bundle includes 1lb of alfalfa seed and 1lb of mung bean seed. The two seed types are packaged separately. Each one comes in a heat-sealed resealable bag. According to the agency record, 37,481 units are affected.
The agency data we reviewed does not list specific lot codes. It also does not state exact sale dates or retail locations. As a result, you should check the official FDA notice directly. That notice is the best source for lot numbers, dates, or distribution details. If your bundle matches the product description, treat it as possibly affected until you confirm otherwise.
This is a downstream recall. That means the problem started with an ingredient, not with Todd’s Seeds itself. A supplier recalled alfalfa seed, and that seed went into this bundle. In most cases, companies that bought a recalled ingredient must then recall their own products. The todd’s seeds recall follows that common pattern.
Sprouting seeds are typically sold online and through garden or natural food sellers. However, the agency record does not confirm where this bundle was sold. For example, do not assume your purchase is safe because of where you bought it. Instead, compare the product name and packaging against the official notice.
The Hazard and Reported Injuries
The concern is possible contamination with E. coli and/or Salmonella. Both are bacteria that can cause foodborne illness. Sprouting seeds carry a special risk. The warm, moist conditions used to grow sprouts can help bacteria multiply. As a result, even small amounts of contamination on seed can grow during sprouting.
Salmonella infection often causes diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Some strains of E. coli can cause severe, sometimes bloody, diarrhea. In rare cases, certain E. coli infections can lead to kidney complications. Young children, older adults, and pregnant people face higher risk. People with weakened immune systems are also more vulnerable. Anyone with serious symptoms should contact a doctor.
The FDA rated the todd’s seeds recall as Class I. The agency uses this label for the most serious risks. It means there is a reasonable probability of serious health problems or death. However, the classification describes potential risk. It does not by itself mean anyone has been harmed. The agency record does not state whether any illnesses or injuries have been reported.

Because the record is silent on illnesses, we do not report any here. If the FDA updates the todd’s seeds recall, the official notice may change. New details could include added lots or health information. Check back with the agency for the latest version.
What To Do If You Own This Product
First, stop using the seeds. Do not sprout them, eat them, or give them away. In most cases, it is safest to set the whole bundle aside. That includes both bags, unless the official notice says otherwise. Keep the product away from children and pets.
Next, identify the product. Look for the Todd’s Seeds name and the Alfalfa & Mung Bundle description. Check for two separate 1lb heat-sealed resealable bags. Then compare any codes or dates on your packaging with the official FDA notice. Take a photo of the packaging. Keep your receipt or order confirmation if you have one.
For the remedy, follow the instructions in the official notice linked on this page. We have not listed a remedy here. The agency text we received did not match this product, so we withheld it. The official notice is the right place to learn what to do next. You can review it here:

Clean any jars, trays, or surfaces that touched the seeds. Use hot, soapy water, and wash your hands afterward. If you ate sprouts from these seeds and feel sick, contact a health care provider. You can also report illness to the FDA through its Safety Reporting Portal. Keeping your todd’s seeds recall packaging and records may help if questions come up later.
Does a Todd’S Seeds Recall Mean You Can Sue?
A recall is not a lawsuit. It is a safety action. Companies and regulators use recalls to remove possibly harmful products from the market. The todd’s seeds recall alone does not create a legal claim for anyone who bought the product.

A possible claim typically requires more than a recall. For example, a person would usually need to show a real injury, such as a diagnosed illness. They would also need evidence linking that illness to the product. This link is called causation. Medical records, lab results, and purchase records can all matter. As a result, good documentation is important.
We have not verified any lawsuit tied to the todd’s seeds recall. If you became ill after using this product, you may be eligible to explore your options. A licensed attorney in your state can review your facts. Many personal injury lawyers offer free consultations. However, no one can guarantee an outcome or any compensation.
Time limits also apply. Each state sets a statute of limitations for injury claims. These deadlines vary from state to state. In most cases, speaking with an attorney sooner helps protect your rights. Even so, a consultation is not a promise that you have a case.
How Recalls Connect to Mass Tort Cases
Recalls sometimes become evidence in later litigation. A recall notice can show what a company knew and when. Testing data, supplier records, and agency findings may surface during a case. However, a recall does not prove liability. Courts still require proof of injury and causation.
The Philips CPAP recall is one well-known example. In June 2021, Philips recalled millions of breathing devices over foam that could break down. Lawsuits followed and were consolidated in federal court in Pennsylvania. Takata airbags are another example. Defective inflators led to the largest auto recall in U.S. history. Years of litigation followed.
Food contamination cases often look different from device cases. They are typically tied to confirmed illness outbreaks. Health departments may link sick people through lab testing. Most recalls, however, never lead to mass tort cases. Whether the todd’s seeds recall leads to any litigation is unknown.
