Dozens are sickened and 1 person died after eating carrots contaminated with E. coli

An outbreak of E. coli has infected dozens of people who ate bagged organic carrots. One person died from the infection. The CDC says 39 people were infected, and 15 people were hospitalized in 18 states after eating organic whole and baby carrots sold by Grimmway Farms. The company has recalled the carrots. The recalled carrots included whole and baby organic carrots sold in bags under multiple brand names. While the carrots are no longer in stores, the CDC is encouraging consumers to check their refrigerators and throw away any carrots that fit the description.
