The Germans are very primitive when it comes to waste control.
They still spread human waste from their towns and cities on the agriculture crops.
And they wonder why people are getting sick?
Just like a third world country.....
The Germans definitely use human waste as fertilizer, but I am not sure of the health risks if it is done “correctly”. We use cow and horse dung.
Say what you will about the Germans, from my interactions with them, I believe the accounts of hospital personnel returning from vacations to treat the victims.
You can sprout seeds in just water. Rinsing is vitally important. Hygiene is important, even if you are growing them for yourself at home. However, you don’t even need to touch the sprouts, just have a screen over the mouth of the growing container and flush with water.
So: what was the initial source of the bacteria? It would seem to have been either in the initial handling of the seeds, the container itself, the water itself or in the final harvest and packaging. I can’t see where else anyone would even have reason to touch the sprouts and introduce contamination. Perhaps there was an initial presence of E. coli and then inadequate rinsing?

It’s called ‘sludge’ and they use it on crops in Mexico which are imported here. We also use sludge in the U.S. I believe but I would have to check that out.
I don’t think that german farmers are growing soybean or mung bean crops. Small growing operations would be importing the seeds and then sprouting them, unless they’re imported sprouts.
