The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has recalled E. coli-tainted carrots following a U.S. health warning about the contaminated produce linked to one death and dozens of illnesses.
On Monday afternoon, the CFIA issued a warning about several carrot products due to potential contamination with E. coli 0121 bacteria. The move came after a report from Global News earlier that day that noted that a recall issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) included brands sold in Canada.
The affected brands in Canada include Bunny-Luv, Cal-Organic, Compliments Organic and PC Organics. You can see the full list here.
