Grimmway Farms has voluntarily issued a recall of certain carrot products because they may have been contaminated with Salmonella.
“The recall was initiated as a result of a routine, internal company test, said Grimmway Farms President and CEO Jeff Huckaby. “The health of our customers and the integrity of our products are our highest priorities, and we will continue to monitor and communicate as additional information is available.”
To date, no illnesses have been linked to this recall.
In addition to the retail-packed products listed in the table at the end of this press release, the company recalled certain shredded carrots and chopped (chunk) carrots that were sold to food manufacturers and foodservice distributors. All affected food manufacturers, food service distributors, and retail customers have been notified with much of the product having been recaptured before being available for consumption.
The products listed in the table below were shipped directly to retailers throughout the United States.
Consumers can identify the recalled products from the table below and the photos posted on the company website.
