The organic carrots were sold in some big name stores from Aug. 14 to Oct. 23. They include Wegmans, Trader Joes, Simple Truth and Full Circle, among others.

The whole carrots do not have a best-if-used-by date printed on the bag. However, the baby carrots have a best-if-used-by date ranging from Sept. 11 through Nov. 12.

People who have the recalled carrots should either return them to the store or throw them out. In addition, wash any surfaces that came in contact with the carrots.
