Niche-Specific Safety
Indoor gardening, sprouting, and microgreens involve food-safety considerations — sprouts in particular have been linked to E. coli and Salmonella outbreaks when seed or sanitation is poor. Use seed sold for sprouting, sanitize equipment, and follow proper germination temperatures. CityRooted does not provide medical or regulatory food-safety advice.
