The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, investigated illnesses in a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Anatum infections linked to Deep-brand frozen products. On July 16, 2025, Chetak LLC Group initiated a recall of multiple lots of Frozen Deep-brand Sprouted Mat (Moth) and Moong (Mung) beans in 1-lb (454 g) packages, due to the suspected presence of Salmonella. On August 22, 2025, the FDA expanded its advice for retailers and consumers to not eat, sell, or serve Deep-brand Premium Select Frozen SURTI UNDHIU MIX in 12-oz (340 g) packages. As of September 22, 2025, a total of 12 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella have been reported from 11 states(CT, FL, IL, MA, MN, NJ, PA, TN, TX, VA, and WA). Four of the six cases with available information reported eating or likely eating sprouted beans. Of those four cases, two reported eating frozen sprouted mat (moth) and moong (mung) beans before becoming ill. There have been four hospitalizations, and no deaths have been reported. The FDA’s outbreak investigation is complete.@ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-salmonella-deep-brand-frozen-products-july-2025
