Summary
Grimmway Farms has voluntarily recalled organic whole carrots and baby carrots sold at Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, and other retailers due to possible contamination with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), linked to an outbreak identified by the CDC.
Affected products, sold under various labels, include whole carrots (sold from Aug. 14–Oct. 23, 2024) and baby carrots with best-by dates from Sept. 11–Nov. 12, 2024.
Customers are advised to discard them.
STEC can cause severe illness, particularly in young children and the elderly. A prior E. coli outbreak was linked to onions in McDonald’s burgers.
EDIT: there’s are 2 complete lists here, one for baby carrots and one for whole: https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/grimmway-farms-recalls-organic-whole-and-select-organic-baby-carrots-may-be-consumers-homes-due
It looks like aldi may be affected, and I just bought baby carrots from aldi 😅
Thank you very much.
I think the grimmsway farms website is down or havung issues so I can’t see the full list of brands.
If anyone can access it, it’d be super helpful if you copy and paste the list of brands affected here
