Grimmway Farms announcing a voluntary recall of their organic whole and baby carrots due to potential E. coli contamination.
Why It Matters: Dozens of illnesses and one death are linked to an E. coli outbreak across 18 states that the FDA says traces back to bagged carrots produced by Grimmway Farms. The company says that “the recalled carrots should not be available for purchase in stores but may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers.” The potentially contaminated carrots were sold under multiple brand names, including 365, Good & Gather, Greenwise, Sprouts, Trader Joe’s and Wegman’s.

Symptoms of E. coli include diarrhea, fever and vomiting, and may take up to nine days after eating contaminated food to appear, according to the FDA.
