Organic carrots produced by a major Kern County farmer have been linked to a deadly E. coli outbreak impacting eighteen states. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Sunday several sizes and brands of bagged organic baby and whole carrots have been recalled by Grimmway Farms due to the potential E. coli contamination. The carrots are no longer available in stores but the CDC warns consumers may still have some in their homes. There have been 39 cases reported across 18 states –three here in California.
