All Jimmy John’s locations will temporarily stop serving sprouts, after getting seven consumer complaints in Wisconsin and Illinois.

According to a press release from Jimmy John’s, an investigation revealed sprouts purchased from two growers in Minnesota could be linked to food safety complaints over a one-week period in Wisconsin and Illinois.

The President and CEO James North released the following statement:

“Food safety and the welfare of our customers are our top priorities and not negotiable in our business. We have been working closely with the Departments of Health in Illinois and Wisconsin, as well as their federal counterparts, as they investigate the claims. While the results of the investigation are not conclusive and we are still gathering more information, we have voluntarily directed all franchisees to remove sprouts as a precautionary measure from all supply and distribution.”
