Default sprouting beans safe to eat raw?

I forgot some mung beans that I was soaking and they have put out white root
shoots.

I know that some people sprout pulses and beans to put in salad *raw*, but
at what point do mung beans (and others such as alfalfa- widely sold in
health food shops in London for sprouting) become safe to eat raw in a
salad? Since it says on all the packets not to eat raw.
