F&S Fresh Foods, Inc. has voluntarily recalled approximately 1,982 cases (11,892 individual units) of Whole Foods Market brand Organic Carrot Sticks and Organic Carrots & Celery because they may be contaminated with E. coli O121:H19. The products are sold in 15 oz (425 g) clear plastic containers and were distributed to stores in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, and Nevada. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date regarding these specific products. Consumers should return the product to the store or throw it away immediately.
E. coli O121:H19 is a bacterium that can cause severe stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea, which is often bloody. While many people recover within a week, some may develop a serious kidney condition called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which can lead to kidney failure and other life-threatening complications.
