Do not eat, sell, or serve recalled Deep-brand frozen sprouted mat (moth) beans and frozen sprouted moong (mung) beans. FDA’s Investigation is ongoing.
Current Update
July 17, 2025
The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, are investigating illnesses in a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Anatum infections linked to Deep-brand frozen sprouted mat (moth) beans and frozen sprouted moong (mung) beans.
In May 2025, FDA conducted routine product sampling of Deep-brand frozen sprouted mat (moth) and moong (mung) beans. The product samples tested positive for Salmonella and whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis determined that the Salmonella present in the samples matched the strain causing illnesses in this outbreak.
Based on epidemiological information collected by CDC, a total of 11 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella have been reported from 10 states. Illnesses started on dates ranging from October 22, 2024, to June 24, 2025. Four of six cases with information available reported eating or likely eating frozen sprouted mat (moth) beans and frozen sprouted moong beans before becoming ill. There have been four hospitalizations, and no deaths have been reported.
In response to this investigation, Chetak LLC Group, has initiated a recall of the following:
Deep-brand Sprouted Mat (Moth) in 1 LB (454 g) packages with the following lot codes printed on the back side of the bag: IN 24330, IN 25072, IN 25108, IN 24353,
IN 25171, IN 24297, IN 25058, IN 25078, IN 24291, IN 25107, IN 24354, IN 24292
Deep-brand Sprouted Moong (Mung) in 1 LB (454 g) packages with the following lot codes printed on the back side of the bag: IN 24330, IN 25072, IN 25108, IN 24353,
IN 25171, IN 24297, IN 25058, IN 25078, IN 24291, IN 25107, IN 24354, IN 24292
While the Chetak LLC Group has indicated they have not received reports of illnesses directly, FDA and CDC’s investigation has linked these products to illnesses in this outbreak through laboratory and epidemiological evidence.
The recalling firm is working with FDA and the production and distribution of the product has been suspended while FDA and Chetak LLC Group continue their investigation into the source of the problem. FDA’s investigation is ongoing, and information will be added to this advisory as it becomes available.
