Food safety lawyer Fred Pritzker is calling on Jimmy John’s and alfalfa sprouts supplier Tiny Greens Organic Farm, both located in Illinois, to pay medical expenses and other associated costs incurred by victims of the Salmonella outbreak.

“It is only fair that Jimmy John’s and Tiny Greens pay for hospitalization and other direct costs while related legal issues, including pain and suffering, are pending,’’ Pritzker said. “The families deserve that peace of mind.’’

To date, a total of 94 individuals have been infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella serotype I 4,[5],12:i:- from the following states: Illinois (51), Missouri (17), Indiana (9), California (1), Connecticut (1), District of Columbia (1), Georgia (1), Hawaii (1), Iowa (1), Massachusetts (1), New York (1), Pennsylvania (2), South Dakota (1), Tennessee (1), Texas (1), Virginia (1), and Wisconsin (3).

Onset dates range from November 1 to December 14, 2010. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has reported that approximately 24% of the 94 people infected by the outbreak strain of Salmonellla have been hospitalized for treatment. The CDC has announced a preliminary link between Tiny Greens alfalfa sprouts consumed at Jimmy John’s and the Salmonella outbreak.

According to the CDC, consumers should not eat Tiny Greens brand Alfalfa Sprouts or Spicy Sprouts, and restaurant and food service operators should not serve them. Consumers, retailers and others who have Tiny Greens Alfalfa Sprouts or Spicy Sprouts should dispose of them in a closed plastic bag placed in a sealed trash can.

Salmonella infections can cause Reiter’s syndrome (a form of arthritis), meningitis (infection of the brain and spinal cord), sepsis (infection of the blood, also called septicemia) and death. Those with weakened immune systems, including the elderly, pregnant and very young, are the most susceptible.
