Eden Brothers LLC recalled Calabrese broccoli seeds in packets, 1-ounce packages and 1-pound bags after its supplier notified the company of possible Salmonella contamination. The seeds were sold online through EdenBrothers.com and Amazon from July 8 to Sept. 28, 2026; no illnesses had been reported as of the Oct. 7 announcement.
Eden Brothers LLC recalled Calabrese broccoli seeds in packet, 1-ounce and 1-pound sizes after its supplier notified the company that the seeds may be contaminated with Salmonella. The products were sold online nationwide from July 8 through Sept. 28, 2026, and the company said no illnesses had been reported as of its Oct. 7 recall announcement.
The recall covers seeds bearing Eden Brothers lot numbers 1022067 or 1022068, associated with supplier lot W4105. The company announcement lists the affected product as Broccoli Seeds – Calabrese and gives item codes SVBRO111-qb1 for packets, SVBRO111-qb2 for 1-ounce packages and SVBRO111-qb4 for 1-pound bags. The listed use-by year is 2026. Lot numbers are printed on the seed packet or bag.
Eden Brothers said the affected products were sold through EdenBrothers.com and Amazon.com, with sale dates depending on package size, between July 8 and Sept. 28. The products were shipped to customers nationwide. The company said it stopped sales of the affected lots and is contacting customers directly after receiving the supplier’s notice.
Customers who have the recalled seeds should stop using them. Eden Brothers says not to plant, sprout, eat or share them, and not to use them for microgreens. Its instructions are to seal the seeds in a bag and put them in household trash rather than compost, then wash hands and any surfaces or containers that came into contact with them. Customers who passed seeds on to someone else should notify that person.
Risks for Seed Buyers and Gardeners
The recall matters because the affected product is sold as seed for growing food, but the company says consumers should not plant or sprout it. Eden Brothers’ warning specifically includes growing microgreens and eating or sharing the seeds. Following the recall instructions can help prevent further handling or use of product that may be contaminated.
The FDA-posted announcement describes Salmonella as capable of causing serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in young children, older or frail people, and people with weakened immune systems. Healthy people can also become ill, with symptoms that may include fever, headache, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, according to the announcement. It says that, in rare cases, infection can enter the bloodstream and cause more severe illness.
For customers, the lot numbers—not just the product name or package size—are central to identifying whether their seeds are included. The company is offering a full refund for recalled seeds through its recall reply form. Retailers and distributors that resold or further distributed the product have been told to stop distribution, set aside and destroy remaining inventory, notify customers and complete the reply form.

How the Recall Was Announced
The FDA published the notice on October 7, 2026, identifying it as a company announcement. The FDA explains that it posts company recall, market-withdrawal and safety-alert announcements as a public service and does not endorse the company or product. Eden Brothers said the recall was made with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The stated reason for the recall is a supplier notification that the seeds may be contaminated. The announcement does not say that contamination was confirmed through testing, nor does it describe a reported illness linked to the seeds. Instead, it identifies a potential hazard and directs customers not to use the specified lots while the recall is in effect.
The affected products were sold over a period of nearly three months, from July 8 through Sept. 28, with the exact dates varying by size. Because purchases were made online and shipped nationwide, customers may need to check the printed lot number on a packet or bag rather than rely on where they bought the product.

Contamination and Illness Status
The announcement does not establish whether Salmonella was found in the recalled seeds or provide test results. It says only that the supplier informed Eden Brothers that the product may be contaminated. The source of any possible contamination and the scope of the supplier’s finding are not detailed in the notice.
Eden Brothers reported no illnesses as of Oct. 7, but the announcement does not provide information about how many customers purchased the affected lots or whether all customers have been reached. The status could change if the company or public health authorities report additional findings. The notice also does not give a date by which the recall or customer notification process is expected to conclude.
