We, the undersigned, find the FDA press release in July 1999 telling people to avoid eating sprouts misleading and irresponsible. We ask for an FDA apology and retraction of that warning and demand that the FDA redirect it's
energies toward helping the sprouting seed and sprout growing industries to find the causes and create ecologically
safe solutions to any contamination problems that exist.
