It will probably be a good idea to cook thoroughly whatever sprouts you grow in these things.

I ended up putting my order on hold till I do some more research (Since I was getting these as a fun gift for my kids).
dirtherderA vague article. They did not say what measures they recommend. I think washing the seeds and using good quality organic seeds, one should be ok. I would trust what I grow versus what is done commercially.
dirtherderYou dont need to cook sprouts. The 30 "outbreaks" over the past 20+ years they discuss are likely from large sprouting farms. The bacteria doesn't come from the seeds - it is almost guaranteed it comes from the processing facilities where the environment is contaminated from runoff. There isn't going to be any CAFO runoff present in your house.
