One person has died in connection with the outbreak, the CDC says. At least 39 people have become sick and one person has died in connection with an E. coli outbreak linked to organic carrots, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Sunday.

On November 16, the agency announced, Bakersfield, California-based manufacturer Grimmway Farms voluntarily recalled organic whole and baby carrots distributed throughout Canada, Puerto Rico, and the US. In an update the next day, the FDA said the carrots had been linked to a multi-state E. coli outbreak.

More than a dozen brands are recalling bags of organic carrots that were sold in 18 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,
