As many flock to the grocery store in preparation for the upcoming holidays, you may want to be careful what you pick up in the produce section. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a statement warning consumers about an E. coli outbreak linked to organic carrots.

The outbreak has affected several states and has resulted in one death so far. Organic, whole and (often misunderstood) baby carrots sold by Grimmway Farms are specifically those affected and recalled. The CDC reported that 39 people in 18 states have become ill from the E. coli outbreak, though others may have been affected whose cases are not yet reported. For reference, Washington, Minnesota and New York have the highest number of reported cases.

Grimmway Farms has issued a recall for several sizes and brands of its organic baby and whole carrots, including those sold at Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, Sprouts, 365 at Whole Foods, Good & Gather at Target, Marketside at Walmart, GreenWise from Publix, Simple Truth from Kroger and more. Carrots are off the shelves, but they may still be in people’s refrigerators at home, so the CDC advises people to check and throw them out if they have them. Although food scientists are researching how to use E. coli to produce vanillinthe bacteria itself should be avoided at all costs.

Which carrots to watch out for and throw away

Bunny Luv, Cal-Organic, Compliments, Full Circle, Nature’s Promise, O-Organic, President’s Choice, Raley’s and Wholesome Pantry are among the other brands affected by this outbreak. If the organic baby carrots in your fridge are from these brands and have a best before date between September 11th and November 12th, get rid of them.

If you have whole organic carrots from any of these brands that you purchased between Aug. 14 and Oct. 23, get rid of those, too. Of course, you shouldn’t eat any of these recalled carrots, but for added protection you can wash items and surfaces that the carrots may have touched since you were in the house.

The CDC also advised that if you have severe symptoms of E. coli, such as diarrhea, high fever, or severe vomiting, to the point where you can’t keep anything down, then you should contact your healthcare provider immediately. Grimmway noted that affected farms are also out of production. This comes hot on the heels a recent E. coli outbreak at McDonald’s that slowed customer traffic through the fast food restaurant.
