Organic Carrots Recalled After E. Coli Outbreak Linked to Death and Illnesses

The recall affects carrots sold in major retailers across the U.S. and Canada, with consumers urged to discard potentially contaminated products.

The FDA and CDC have recalled organic carrots from Grimmway Farms due to an E. coli outbreak causing one death and sickening 39 people in the U.S.
The affected products include organic whole carrots and baby carrots sold between August and November at retailers like Trader Joe’s, Publix, and Kroger.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a similar recall, although no illnesses have been reported in Canada yet.
Symptoms of E. coli infection include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and in severe cases, can lead to kidney damage or death.
Consumers are advised to dispose of any recalled carrots and sanitize any surfaces they may have touched, with health authorities continuing to investigate the contamination source.
