(AP) - The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is issuing a consumer advisory for Jack & The Green Sprouts brand alfalfa after routine testing found a package contained salmonella.

Officials say Thursday that the contamination is not connected to the ongoing investigation into peanut butter products and there are no known illnesses connected to the alfalfa.

The brand is produced by Jack & The Green Sprouts, Inc., in River Falls, Wis., and is distributed in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Minnesota officials are asking consumers to throw away any product already purchased.

Both states are investigating and working to remove the product from distribution and retail facilities.

A message left Thursday with Jack & The Green Sprouts was not immediately returned.
