Carrots sold in stores in Hawaii were recalled due to E. coli concerns

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The Department of Health is warning the public that several brand names of organic carrots are being recalled due to possible E. coli contamination.

Grimmway Farms is recalling multiple sizes and brands of bagged organic baby and whole carrots, including 365 Whole Foods Market, Bunny Luv, Cal-Organic, Good & Gather and O Organic brands.

These products were sold throughout the U.S. and were available at supermarkets and retailers in Hawaii, the DOH said.

Symptoms of E. coli may include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea and/or vomiting.

To date, 39 illnesses and one death have been linked to these products nationwide.

The DOH is investigating whether the recalled products have affected individuals in Hawaii.

The recalled carrots should no longer be for sale, but health officials are urging consumers to check their refrigerators or freezers to see if the products match any of the recalled products listed on the FDA’s website .
