An E. coli outbreak linked to recalled carrots has led to dozens of illnesses in 18 states and one death, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. At least 39 cases of E. coli have been linked to the carrots since early September,

Multiple brands of bagged organic carrots have been linked to at least 40 E. coli cases and one death. The organic carrots grown by Grimmway Farms are no longer on grocery store shelves but they could still be in your fridge.

The carrots, which were sold at supermarket chains nationwide, "should no longer be in grocery stores but may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers."
