(WSB Radio/AP) -- An undisclosed amount of carrots that may be contaminated with bacteria that could cause diarrhea, nausea, fever and vomiting. The Los Angeles Salad Co. said it was voluntarily recalling its ``Genuine Sweet Baby Carrots'' because the carrots might be contaminated with the bacteria called shigella.

The product was sold under two labels. One is ``Los Angeles Salad Genuine Sweet Baby Carrots'' with a sell-by date up to and including Aug. 16, 2007, sold in 7-ounce and 8-ounce bags and distributed in California, Colorado, Florida and in Georgia at Kroger and Publix stores.


The other is ``Trader Joe's Genuine Sweet Baby Carrots'' with a sell-by date up to and including Aug. 8, 2007, sold in 7-ounce bags and distributed in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington. Details: Call the company at 1-626-322-9017 with questions.

Thanks for posting. Luckily wasn't in the mood for carots last trip to Publix.

With all this healthy stuff being recalled I'm considering only eating ice cream, cookies, and potato chips. None of those seem to be being recalled. :idontno:

Is this another case of veggies not being washed/handled properly?

I think Mother Nature is getting serious with wanting us to buy local produce ;-).

Have they found lead paint in these vegetables? I think the Chinese must have something to do with it.
