Consumers who purchased carrots with the above best if sold by dates and still have them in their refrigerator or freezer should not consume them.
In case you are experiencing E. coli symptoms such as watery diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting; stomach cramps; and mild fever, it is important to report it.
