Wild About Sprouts Celebrates World Food Safety Day with Breakthrough Cold-Grown Technology That Redefines Safety and Nutrition

In honor of World Food Safety Day June 7, Wild About Sprouts is shining a spotlight on its revolutionary Cold-Grown process—an all-natural, patented innovation that has redefined food safety standards in the sprouting industry. With more than 25 million containers sold pathogen-free and never part of any recall during its 8+ years, Wild About Sprouts is the only national sprout brand in the US, now proudly available in more than 7,000 grocery stores across the country.

Sprouts are among the most powerful, studied and nutrient-dense superfoods on the planet. Yet for decades, their potential has been limited by persistent food safety concerns. Wild About Sprouts has solved that problem. Its Cold-Grown process eliminates the risk of dangerous pathogens without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical intervention and uses 95 percent less water than traditional growing systems—making it one of the most sustainable solutions in fresh food today.

“At Wild About Sprouts, food safety isn’t a feature—it’s the foundation,” said Barry Didato, CEO of Rä Foods, parent company of Wild About Sprouts. “Our patented Cold-Grown method is changing the way America eats—combining breakthrough safety with unmatched nutrition, delivering sprouts that contain up to 100 times more antioxidants, vitamins and minerals than fully grown vegetables. Backed by more than 2,000 studies, sprouts—especially broccoli sprouts—are rich in sulforaphane, a proven compound that supports the body’s natural detox pathways, helps fight cancer, reduces inflammation and shows promise in managing conditions like autism, diabetes and neurodegenerative disease.”

Observed every year on June 7, World Food Safety Day highlights the importance of safe, accessible food for all. Wild About Sprouts is proud to lead this charge—proving that innovation can make clean, nutrient-packed, fresh foods not just possible but scalable.

“Wild About Sprouts has not only innovated with its Cold-Grown technology—they’ve demonstrated an uncompromising commitment to public health,” said Dr. Darin Detwiler, Food Safety Advocate, Professor and Author of Food Safety: Past, Present and Predictions. “In an era when consumers demand both transparency and accountability, this company offers a clear model of how science and responsibility can align to create safer, more sustainable food systems. As we recognize World Food Safety Day, this kind of leadership is precisely what our food system needs to move from reaction to prevention.”

Whether tossed in a salad, layered on a sandwich or blended into smoothies, Wild About Sprouts products offer an easy and delicious way to boost everyday nutrition—safely.
