E. COLI CASES IN MINNESOTA LINKED TO RECALLED ORGANIC CARROTS
State health officials urge Minnesotans to dispose of recalled organic carrots
Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) officials are warning Minnesota consumers not to eat select organic whole carrots and organic baby carrots due to a multi-state Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O121:H19 outbreak announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Five Minnesotans between 15 and 44 years of age became ill between Sept. 21 and Oct. 6. One person has been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported. The illnesses have been linked to eating organic carrots purchased from Costco, Target and HyVee, and brands have included Good and Gather, Bunny Luv and Cal-Organic.
Across the nation, 39 people infected with the outbreak strain of E. coli have been reported from 18 states. Of these cases, 15 people have been hospitalized and one death has been reported.
Grimmway Farms recalled multiples sizes and brands of bagged organic baby and whole carrots on Nov. 16. These products are likely no longer in stores for sale; however, the organic carrots may still be in people’s homes.
Health officials recommend people check their refrigerators or freezers for recalled carrots and throw them away. Do not eat any recalled bagged organic carrots.
