An E. Coli outbreak linked to organic carrots has infected at least 39 people across 18 states, including in California. The outbreak is connected to several brands of the carrots, which have been since recalled according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The carrots, according to the CDC, come from Bakersfield-based Grimmway Farms.

Of the 39 confirmed E. coli patients connected to this outbreak, three of them live in California, according to the CDC. There have been 15 hospitalizations and one death. The death occurred in California, the CDC said. According to the CDC, most people infected experience "severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), and vomiting." The symptoms usually start about three or four days after consumption.
