USA – Outbreak Investigation of E. coli O121:H19: Organic Carrots (November 2024)

Posted on November 26, 2024 by | Leave a comment

FDA

Current Update

November 22, 2024

On November 16, 2024, Grimmway Farms initiated a voluntary recall of multiple quantities and brands of bagged, organic whole and baby carrots and contacted their distributing customers. Recalled products were shipped directly to retail distribution centers nationwide in the United States and Puerto Rico. These products should no longer be in grocery stores but may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers.

On November 21, 2024, the recall expanded to include additional bag sizes for organic whole carrots under the following labels:

  • Bunny Luv: 50-lb
  • Cal-Organic: 15-lb and 50-lb
  • Good & Gather: 1-lb

A full list of recalled products is below. These products are likely no longer available for sale in stores but could be in people’s homes.

FDA’s investigation is ongoing and more information will be provided as it becomes available.

Posted on November 26, 2024 by | Leave a comment

Food Safety News

The CDC has declared an outbreak of Listeria infections traced to Boar’s Head deli meats to be over.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began investigating the outbreak on July 19. Ultimately the outbreak sickened 59 people across 19 states, killing 10. The company closed its production plant in Jarratt, VA, and permanently stopped liverwurst production nationwide. Boar’s Head recalled more than 7 million pounds of deli meats because of the outbreak.

Even though the outbreak has been declared over, the CDC is continuing to warn against the consumption of deli meats for certain groups of people.
