Summary

An E. coli outbreak linked to bagged organic carrots from Grimmway Farms has infected 39 people across 18 states, with 15 hospitalized and one death reported.

The recalled carrots, sold under brands like Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, and 365, are no longer in stores, but the CDC urges consumers to check for and discard any remaining stock.

E. coli infections, which cause severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting, can be life-threatening for vulnerable groups.

Recent outbreaks have also been tied to onions, lettuce, and walnuts.

    “organic foods are fertilized with literal shit.”

    Your post is utter nonsense for a variety of reasons, but mainly it’s your ignorance of how manure is used. Review the National Organic Program (USA) standards in §205.203©(1) for a primer on that. Europe’s regulations are even stricter.
