The affected carrots were sold nationwide in stores including Aldi, Kroger, Publix, Target, Trader Joe's, Walmart, Wegmans, and Whole Foods, just to name a few. So far, 39 illnesses have been reported, resulting in 15 hospitalizations and one death.

Grimmway Farms recalled an array of its organic whole and baby carrots over concerns of an E. coli outbreak. Recalled carrots were sold at retailers such as Walmart, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.

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