Dear Residents,

Grimmway Farms has issued a recall of select organic whole carrots and organic baby carrots. These products may have been contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli), which can cause severe and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and those with a weakened immune system. 

The following recalled products were shipped directly to retail distribution centers nationwide in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada:

• Organic whole carrots, which do not have a best-if-used-by date printed on the bag, but were available for purchase at retail stores from August 14 through October 23, 2024,
• Organic baby carrots with best-if-used-by-dates ranging from September 11 through November 12, 2024. The recalled carrots should not be available for purchase in stores but may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers.

The recalled carrots should no longer be available for purchase but may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers.

Please refer to the table HERE to see if your household may have the affected products.

Scroll down HERE to see photos of the affected products.

Consumers who purchased carrots in the table above and still have them in their refrigerator or freezer should not consume them; they should be destroyed or discarded so they cannot be consumed. If you have these products in your home, do not eat or use them. Throw them away, and clean and sanitize surfaces they touched. Consumers concerned about an illness should contact a medical professional.

Consumers with questions or products in their possession may contact Grimmway at 1-800-301-3101, M-F, 8 am – 8 pm ET or visit www.grimmway.com.
