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.

    Already blaming immigrants and shifting away from the real issue at hand. After Trump is installed, you will see more of these contaminations or not, because probably it will be forbidden to report them

      Already blaming immigrants

      A complete lack of understanding is apparent. How is it “blaming immigrants” when the system is set up that way? The owners pay pennies for each container the workers harvest. Workers can’t afford to lose pay by going to the far off toilets and the bosses know that.
