A number of organic bagged carrots are being recalled after an E.Coli outbreak.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that a number of bagged organic carrots sold by Grimmway Farms have been linked to an E.Coli outbreak in the U.S. As it stands currently, one person has died, fifteen have been hospitalized, and thirty-nine people have been infected.

These carrots came in multiple brands and sizes of both whole and baby carrots. While they are no longer for sale at stores, they may still be in your home. Time to check you refrigerators! You'll want to throw these out asap, and be sure to disinfect any areas they may have touched.
