Check your freezers: Carrots sold in Hawaii stores recalled over E. coli concerns
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The state Department of Health is warning the public of multiple brand names of organic carrots being recalled due to potential 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 for purchase at supermarkets and retailers in Hawaii, the DOH said.
Symptoms of E. coli can include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea and/or vomiting.
To date, 39 illnesses and one death have been associated with these products nationwide.
The DOH is investigating if the recalled products have affected any individuals in Hawaii.
The recalled carrots should no longer be available for purchase, but health officials urge consumers to check their refrigerators or freezers to see if products match up with any of the recalled products listed on the FDA’s website.
