DENVER (KKTV) – A Colorado man is among more than three dozen people nationwide who contracted E. coli following an outbreak linked to organic carrots.

The CDC sent out an alert Sunday morning.

The Centers for Disease Control’s recall alert reads: “CDC and public health officials in multiple states are investigating a multi-state outbreak of E. coli infection linked to multiple brands of recalled organic whole bagged carrots and baby carrots sold by Grimmway Farms.”

The CDC said it does not believe the affected carrots are currently on store shelves, but they may still be in people’s refrigerators. Most were sold in stores during the summer and early fall.

The affected crop includes both baby carrots and whole carrots sold in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada:
