Summary
An E. coli outbreak linked to bagged organic carrots from Grimmway Farms has infected 39 people across 18 states, with 15 hospitalized and one death reported.
The recalled carrots, sold under brands like Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, and 365, are no longer in stores, but the CDC urges consumers to check for and discard any remaining stock.
E. coli infections, which cause severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting, can be life-threatening for vulnerable groups.
Recent outbreaks have also been tied to onions, lettuce, and walnuts.
Imagine if MAGAts are in control of the regulatory agencies.
Oh wait… don’t have to imagine
Coming soon™ 2025
🥲
As much as I agree with the sentiment, this strikes me as similar to when MAGAts would post pictures of empty store shelves during COVID and would say it’s what Biden’s America would look like. We all laughed because they were literally pictures of Trump’s America.
I understand that Trump is going to gut federal agencies but…this is happening right now. Under Biden’s watch.
And it’s still, for the moment, a screw-up. Something that slipped through the cracks. Deregulation means not even trying to stop it anymore, so it’ll be normal. Or, one layer of protection will be gone.
