E. Coli Outbreak Prompts Nationwide Organic Carrot Recall

Grimmway Farms has recalled organic whole and baby carrots sold under various brands in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada due to an E. coli outbreak that has resulted in one death and 39 illnesses across 18 states. The CDC and FDA have identified Grimmway Farms as the common supplier, and the recall affects brands like Trader Joe's, Wegmans, and Nature's Promise. The outbreak may be more widespread than reported, as many cases go untested. Symptoms of E. coli infection include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and fever.
