Read the official U.S. Food and Drug Administration recall notice
Todd’s seeds recall notice H-1405-2026 is dated October 7, 2026. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists TODD’S SEEDS LLC as the recalling company. The recall covers a sprouting seed mix sold in several package sizes. The mix contains alfalfa seed that its supplier had already recalled. That seed may be contaminated with E. coli and/or Salmonella. The FDA rated this a Class I recall, its most serious category. About 37,481 units are affected. If you grow sprouts at home, this recall may affect you.
What the Todd’s Seeds Recall Covers
The Todd’s seeds recall involves one product line. It is Todd’s Seeds Broccoli & Friends Sprouting Seed Mix. The blend contains broccoli, alfalfa, radish, and clover seeds. People buy these seeds to grow fresh sprouts at home.
The mix came in several formats. These include 1 oz. sample packets. It was also sold in heat-sealed resealable bags. The bag sizes are 1/4 lb., 1/2 lb., 1 lb., 2.5 lb., and 5 lb. As a result, the product could be in many kinds of homes. Buyers range from first-time sprouters to people who buy in bulk.
The agency record summarized here does not list lot codes. It also does not give sale dates or say where the product was sold. For example, it does not name stores or websites. Check the official FDA notice for any lot or distribution details. Do not assume your bag is safe just because a code is missing from this page.
This is a downstream recall. In most cases, that means the problem started with a supplier. Here, the supplier recalled its alfalfa seed first. Todd’s Seeds then recalled its own mix because the mix contained that seed. The Todd’s seeds recall covers a total of 37,481 units.
The Hazard and Reported Injuries
The main hazard is possible bacterial contamination. The alfalfa seed in this mix may carry E. coli, Salmonella, or both. Sprouts grow in warm, humid conditions. Typically, those same conditions help bacteria multiply. As a result, a small amount of germs on a seed can grow a lot while it sprouts.
Salmonella infection often causes diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Some E. coli strains can cause severe illness. For example, certain strains make toxins that can harm the kidneys. Young children, older adults, and pregnant people face higher risk. People with weak immune systems do too. However, healthy adults can also become seriously ill.
The agency record does not say whether anyone has reported an illness. This guide makes no claim either way. The Class I rating reflects the level of potential risk. It means FDA sees a reasonable chance of serious health harm or death. Key facts from the agency record appear below.

Did you eat sprouts grown from this mix and now feel unwell? Contact a doctor. Tell them about the possible exposure to E. coli or Salmonella. A doctor may order a stool test to confirm an infection. Seek urgent care for bloody diarrhea, high fever, or signs of dehydration.
What To Do If You Own This Product
First, stop using the seed mix right away. Do not sprout it, eat it, or give it away. The same goes for any sprouts you already grew from it. Bacteria can be inside the sprouts, so rinsing them does not fix the risk.
Next, check whether you have the product. Look for “Broccoli & Friends Sprouting Seed Mix” on the label. Compare the package size to the list above. Take a clear photo of the label and any printed codes. You may need these details later.
To get the remedy, follow the official FDA notice linked on this page. This guide does not say what the remedy is. The agency record had remedy text that did not match this product. As a result, we left it out to avoid confusion. The official notice is the best source for refund, return, or disposal steps.
Also clean anything that touched the seeds or sprouts. This includes jars, trays, lids, strainers, and counters. Wash them in hot, soapy water. Then wash your hands well. Questions about the Todd’s seeds recall can go to the company. Use the contact details in the official notice. You can also reach out to the FDA.
Does a Todd’s Seeds Recall Mean You Can Sue?
A recall is not a lawsuit. It is a safety action by a company, usually overseen by a government agency. The Todd’s seeds recall warns the public about a possible risk. It does not decide who is at fault. On its own, it does not create a legal claim.

Owning a recalled product usually does not support an injury claim. Typically, a personal injury claim needs two things. First, there must be a real injury, such as a diagnosed illness. Second, there must be proof that the product caused it. For example, lab results might tie an infection to a specific bacterial strain.
As of October 13, 2026, we have not verified any lawsuit filed over this recall. This page does not suggest that one exists. Legal action may or may not happen. It depends on facts that are not yet in the agency record.
Did you get sick after eating sprouts from this mix? Consider talking with a licensed attorney. A lawyer can review your medical records and timeline. They can explain the filing deadlines in your state. You may be eligible to pursue a claim, but nothing is guaranteed. Every case turns on its own facts.
How Recalls Connect to Mass Tort Cases
Recalls often show up later as evidence in litigation. A recall notice can show when a company learned about a risk. It can also show how many products reached the public. However, a recall alone never proves liability. Courts still weigh all the evidence in each case.
The Philips CPAP recall is one example. In June 2021, Philips recalled millions of breathing devices. The concern was sound-reducing foam that could break down. Many lawsuits followed and were grouped into federal court in Pennsylvania. Philips later reached settlements covering economic loss and personal injury claims. In that case, the recall was a starting point, not the final word.
Takata airbags offer another example. Defective inflators could rupture and send metal fragments into vehicles. Tens of millions of U.S. vehicles were recalled. Lawsuits were grouped into federal court in Florida. Food cases follow similar paths. For example, the 1993 Jack in the Box E. coli outbreak led to lawsuits and major food safety reforms. Whether the Todd’s seeds recall leads to anything similar is unknown.
