The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, are continuing to investigate illnesses in a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Anatum linked to Deep-brand frozen products. As part of this investigation, the manufacturer of the Deep-brand frozen sprouted mat (moth) beans and frozen sprouted moong (mung) bean products was placed under increased screening for ready-to-eat products entering the US. Additionally, the FDA conducted an inspection and sample collection at one of Chetak, LLC Group’s US locations. On August 20, 2025, the FDA was informed that a sample collected and tested upon entry into the US of Deep-brand Premium Select Frozen SURTI UNDHIU MIX in 12-oz (340 g) packages with the lot code of IN25158K and Use By date of December 06, 2026, tested positive for Salmonella. WGS analysis determined that the strain of Salmonella found in this product matches the strain causing illnesses in this outbreak. Based on these sample results, the FDA is advising that retailers and consumers not eat, sell, or serve Deep-brand Premium Select Frozen SURTI UNDHIU MIX in 12-oz (340 g) packages; lot code: IN25158K and Use By date of December 06, 2026. All sprouted bean samples that were positive for Salmonella were included in the recall that was initiated on July 16, 2025, and should not be available for sale at this time. Consumers should still check their freezers for recalled products and throw them away. The outbreak caused 11 illnesses and 4 hospitalizations. States with Cases: CT, FL, IL, MA, MN, NJ, PA, TN, VA, and WA. @! https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-salmonella-frozen-sprouted-beans-july-2025?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
