Carrot recall as E coli outbreak leaves 1 dead, dozens infected across U.S.

Organic bagged carrots sold under multiple brands have been linked to an E. coli outbreak that has killed one person and sickened 39 others in at least 18 states, with 15 hospitalized, according to the CDC.

Grimmway Farms issued a recall for select organic whole and baby carrots, including those sold under brands like Nature’s Promise, Wegmans, and Trader Joe’s.

The carrots were distributed nationwide and in Puerto Rico and Canada, Axios has reported.

The outbreak, which may have affected more people than reported, is tied to products sold between Aug. 14 and Oct. 23. Symptoms include stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting.
