I just got the official Canadian notice for the carrot recall.

 

 Just a few minutes ago I received a message from Costco:

 

November 19, 2024

Important Food Safety Recall Notice
Cal-Organic Farms Whole Organic Carrots
Item #1352

Dear Costco Member,

 

Costco records indicate that you, or one of your add-on members, purchased Cal-Organic Farms Whole Organic Carrots packaged in a six-pound bag, item #1352 between August 15 and September 30, 2024. This item purchased during the above timeframe has been recalled because it may have been contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) O121:H19

 

E. coli O121:H19 is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and those with a weakened immune system. Some infections can cause severe bloody diarrhea conditions, such as a hemolytic uremic syndrome, or the development of high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, and neurologic problems. Symptoms include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, and/or vomiting. The incubation period for E. coli O121:H19 in humans can range from 24 hours to as much as ten days. The average incubation period is 3 to 4 days.

 

The recalled carrots may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. If you purchased this item between August 15 and September 30, 2024 and still have these products in your home, do not consume them. Clean and sanitize surfaces they may have touched. Throw away unused product and go to Costco for a full refund. Consumers concerned about an illness should contact a medical professional.   

 

Please call Grimmway Farms at 1-866-912-9552, M-F, 8 am – 8 pm ET or visit www.grimmway.com if you have any issues or concerns.

 

Thank you,

I made two purchases of the carrots during that time, and consumed them raw.  I felt no distress nor can I recall any symptoms.  It sounds like the issue has passed, and I'm thinking of buying carrots again.

FWIW, I received a phone call from Costco earlier this morning following up on the email they sent. Nice touch.

We'd had a run without an enoki mushroom recall, but that has now ended.

The US recall on whole fresh cucumbers for salmonella has extended to Canada as well.

ETA: Now that I've rubbed the sleep from my eyes, I see that no-one had posted the American version of the recall. Here's the FDA link:

I missed this one in my inbox the other day, but Taylor Farm's brand of "sweet chopped kale" salads is being recalled for salmonella. Affected area is everyone from Ontario east.

This doesn't seem to have hit the CFIA's site yet, but Made Good is recalling many batches of its granola bars for potential metal contamination (ie, brush bristles). They've had 7 reports from the many millions of bars sold, but (as they say of many other things) it only takes one to ruin your whole day.

Thanks for this.  I just checked mine and thankfully, they are a different brand.
