Hi felicity,
Welcome to the forum. I've changed the title of your post so that it's more obvious what you're looking for.
The websites of reputable seed suppliers that stock seeds for sprouting are a good starting place. The Food Standards Agency website has uptodate information on bean sprouts and e-coli. I'd want to know that any seeds I bought for sprouting hadn't been treated with any pesticides so would only buy from reputable places and buy seeds that were specifically sold for sprouting, not planting.
