What caused the E. coli outbreak?<\/h2>\r\nThe outbreak is linked to organic carrots from Grimmway Farms of Bakersfield, California.\u00a0No illnesses have been reported to 4Earth Farms to date; however, the CDC reports 39 illnesses and one death associated with the broader E. coli outbreak<\/a>.\r\nWhat vegetables are affected by the recall?<\/h2>\r\n![\"Vegetables](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/vegetables-were-affected-by-the-recall_via-fda.gov_PDedit.jpg?fit=700,1024\")
\r\n\r\nThe recalled products all have best by dates of September 7, 2024, through November 2, 2024. That means any items impacted by this recall have been expired for at least three weeks. However, they may still be in consumers\u2019 refrigerators or freezers.\r\n\r\nThe 4Earth Farms vegetable medleys that are part of this recall were sold throughout New Hampshire, Florida, California, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Illinois and Colorado at the following retailers:\r\nAlbert's Organics<\/h3>\r\n\r\n \t- Organic Broccoli Medley Wild Harvest 6x12oz<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

What should I do next?<\/h2>\r\nIf you have any of the recalled products at home, do not eat them! To keep your family safe from E. coli<\/a>, throw the vegetables away, and then clean and sanitize any surfaces they touched. Before you clean your refrigerator<\/a>, pick up an antibacterial cleaner\u00a0suitable for food contact surfaces.\r\n\r\nIf you have symptoms of an E. coli infection, such as severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever or nausea, reach out to your doctor right away. Note that symptoms don't occur immediately after eating contaminated food. The incubation period for this type of E. coli ranges from 24 hours to 10 days.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The potentially contaminated vegetable medleys were sold at Walmart, Alberts Organics and Sprouts Farmers Market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7232,"featured_media":2085265,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[303719,303733],"categories-v2":[308324,308365],"coauthors":[120394],"acf":{"ncv_override_generic_settings_option":false,"ncv_autoplay_option":"","ncv_stickyplay_option":"","ncv_ads_option":"","ncv_mute_option":"","ncv_comscore_option":"","ncv_autoplay_mobile_option":"","ncv_viewable_threshold_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_option":"","ncv_autopause_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_mobile_option":"","ncv_autopause_mobile_option":"","ncv_sticky_mobile_option":"","ncv_remove_player_option":false,"ncv_moat_option":"","long_pin_file":false},"yoast_head":"\n
