Have you purchased bagged organic baby carrots recently, perhaps for snacks or school lunches? You may want to chuck them in the trash. There's reportedly been a nationwide outbreak of E. coli involving certain bags of the veggie and most of those who've gotten sick are right here in New York.

Nearly 40 people across 18 states, including New York, have been infected, according to CDC.gov, and one person has died after ingesting the contaminated carrots.

The carrots (that have now been recalled and pulled off store shelves were reportedly manufactured by California's Grimmway Farms and sold under the names 365, Bunny Luv, Cal-Organic, Nature’s Promise, Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, and O Organics between August 2024 and November 2024.

Not only are shoppers being advised to check the fridge for these contaminated carrots, but to thoroughly disinfect any areas the carrots may have come into contact with.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, symptoms of E. coli poisoning can include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (including bloody stool), and nausea within 36 to 72 hours after being exposed to the bacteria.
