(Kapaa-AP) -- A Kauai farm is recalling packages of alfalfa sprouts that were grown from seeds that may potentially be contaminated with salmonella.

Rainbow Garden Kauai says it's recalling its one-pound- bulk and four-ounce packages of alfalfa sprouts labeled ``Rainbow Garden Kauai Alfalfa Sprouts.''

The Kapaa farm is working with the U-S Food and Drug Administration on the recall.

The voluntary recall is a precautionary measure for any of the sprouts grown from this particular seed lot, which has been implicated in recent salmonella outbreaks in Oregon and Washington. Fourteen people in those states fell ill from the disease.

Customers who purchased the sprouts are urged to return them to the store where they bought them for a full refund.
