Sprouting

So what about sprouts has been discovered to be a health risk? Panera has stopped carrying sprouts for my sandwiches - is it a real risk, or have they decided they're a little too hippie?

In semi-related news (same mall), wool is apparently now in season: Fabric Place has both crepe and coating wool in maroon. But the Royal Favor crowd has pillaged the store: there is no more light grey felt or bright purple broadcloth.

But sprouts are typically not planted, and don't come into contact with manure. The contamination is believed to be on the seeds themselves.

I took one small step, and there conclusions were...

I stand corrected. So, how does the contamination get on the seeds in the first place? Are they co-located with contaminants, or something?
