Organic Carrots Recalled Due to Possible E. coli
The recall covers various brands of whole and baby carrots shipped directly to retail distribution centers nationwide in the US, Puerto Rico, and Canada.
Grimmway Farms has recalled organic whole and select organic baby carrots due to potential E. coli contamination, the FDA stated. The product should no longer be in grocery stores but may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers.
These products may have been contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) O121:H19. The incubation period for E. coli O121:H19 in humans can range from 24 hours to up to 10 days. The average incubation period is 3 to 4 days.
The following recalled products were shipped directly to retail distribution centers nationwide in the US, Puerto Rico, and Canada:
Organic whole carrots, which do not have a best-if-used-by date printed on the bag, but were available for purchase at retail stores from August 14 - October 23, 2024
Organic baby carrots with best-if-used-by-dates ranging from September 11 - November 12, 2024. The recalled carrots should not be available for purchase in stores but may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers
November 16, 2024, Grimmway Farms Firm-Initiated Recall Product photos will be posted in our recall notice on our website at grimmway.com |

The company is voluntarily recalling these carrots after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that these products may be associated with an outbreak. To date, 39 illnesses and one death have been associated with an E. coli O121:H19 outbreak.
The company has notified its customers who received the recalled product directly from Grimmway Farms and requested that the customers notify distributors of the recall products. The implicated farms are out of production, and none of the recalled carrots have tested positive for E. coli O121:H19.
