Multiple brands of organic carrots have been recalled due to a multistate outbreak of E. coli that has sickened at least 39 people.
These carrots have been tied to an outbreak of E. coli, or Escherichia coli, a bacterial infection that can be severe, or even fatal, for young children, older people and people with weakened immune systems.
