FDA Expands Recall on Carrots Amid Worsening E. Coli Outbreak
An E. coli outbreak linked to organic carrots from Grimmway Farms has expanded, affecting 18 states and leading to recalls from Whole Foods, Wegmans, and Trader Joe's. At least 39 people have fallen ill, with 15 hospitalized and one death reported. The outbreak involves the O121:H19 strain, which can cause severe complications. Consumers are advised to discard any potentially contaminated carrots, even if stored without original packaging, to prevent further cases.
