A member asked:
Assuming the sprout i bought is contaminated with salmonella or toxigenic ecoli,etc. will cooking sprouts kill them? is the risk only in raw eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Raw Risk: Make sure you get your sprouts from a trusted source. If sprouts are exposed to animal fertilizers or unsanitary hands, you are at risk of contracting food poisoning. Cold water washing sometimes isn't enough to wash the bacteria off and cooking is your only way to kill these bacteria.
