More than a dozen brands are recalling bags of organic carrots that were sold in 19 states for potential E. coli contamination, federal officials announced.

An E. coli outbreak in multiple states tied to the carrots is being investigated by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the agency said in a statement. One person has died and 15 have been hospitalized in connection to the outbreak.

Grimmway Farms recalled multiples brands of bagged organic baby and whole carrots. The affected brands are more than likely no longer in store, but could still be found in people’s homes.

Whole carrots that were affected were available to purchase from Aug. 14 to Oct. 23, according to the CDC. They do not have best-if-used-by dates. Baby carrots, however, have best-if-used-by dates that range between Sept. 11 to Nov. 12 of this year.

The CDC advises not to eat the recalled carrots. The agency encourages consumers to check their refrigerators and dispose of any affected products. For items and surfaces that may have touched the recalled carrots, wash them using warm soapy water or a dishwasher.
