Organic bagged carrots sold in the U.S. under multiple brands have been linked to an E coli outbreak that's killed one person and sickened 39 others in at least 18 states — with 15 hospitalized, the CDC said Sunday.

The outbreak, which has sickened nearly 40 people, has been tied to multiple brands of recalled organic carrots sold by Grimmway Farms, officials said.

Grimmway Farms recalled organic carrots after the product was linked to a multi-state E. coli outbreak that has infected 39 people from 18 states.
