Nationwide Carrot Recall Linked to E. coli Outbreak – What You Need to Know

Nationwide Carrot Recall

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are sounding the alarm over a major recall of bagged whole and baby carrots due to an E. coli outbreak. The affected carrots, produced by Grimmway Farms, were sold at popular retailers like Trader Joe’s, Publix, Wegmans, and more. So far, 39 people have fallen ill, 15 have been hospitalized, and one person has tragically died due to the outbreak across 18 states.

Grimmway Farms initiated the recall and released a statement from President and CEO Jeff Huckaby: “Our food safety team is actively working with health authorities and our suppliers to review every part of our growing, harvesting, and processing practices.” The recall is focused on ensuring no more consumers are exposed to potentially contaminated products.

What You Should Do

While the recalled carrots should no longer be available for purchase, both the CDC and FDA are urging consumers to check their homes. The carrots may still be lurking in refrigerators or freezers. If you have any bagged whole or baby carrots from Grimmway Farms, check the brand name, packaging size, and best-by dates to see if they match the recall list. Dispose of any affected carrots and thoroughly disinfect any surfaces they may have touched.

Products Involved in the Recall

The recalled carrots were sold under various brand names, including:

Whole Organic Carrots (No Best-By Dates):

  • 365, Bunny Luv, Cal-Organic, Compliments, Full Circle, Good & Gather, GreenWise, Marketside, Nature’s Promise, O-Organics, President’s Choice, Simple Truth, Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, Wholesome Pantry, and more.
  • Sizes range from 1lb to 25lbs, depending on the brand.

Bagged Organic Baby Carrots:

  • Brand names include 365, Bunny Luv, Cal-Organic, Compliments, Full Circle, Good & Gather, GreenWise, Grimmway Farms, Marketside, Nature’s Promise, O-Organics, President’s Choice, Raley’s, Simple Truth, Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, and Wholesome Pantry.
  • Best-by dates range from September 11, 2024, through November 12, 2024, depending on the brand and size (12oz to multiple pounds).

E. Coli Outbreak Linked to the Recall

The CDC has tracked reported cases of E. coli linked to the recalled carrots across 18 states, including California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and more. Washington, Minnesota, and New York have reported the highest number of cases. Symptoms of E. coli infection include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting, and can sometimes lead to a serious kidney condition. If you experience these symptoms after consuming the recalled carrots, seek medical attention immediately.

Can Cooking Help?

According to the World Health Organization, cooking food thoroughly to a temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit can kill E. coli bacteria. This includes both vegetables and meat products. While this measure may help in general food safety, the FDA advises against consuming any recalled products altogether, even after cooking.

Grimmway Farms’ carrot recall underscores the importance of vigilance when it comes to food safety. Stay informed, check your kitchen, and take action to protect yourself and your loved ones. For ongoing updates, follow recommendations from the CDC and FDA.
