So far, 15 people are in hospital and 39 cases have been reported across 18 states, the US's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.

The recall covers bagged carrots sold by Grimmway Farms to big supermarket names including Trader Joe's, Whole Foods's 365, Target's Good & Gather, Walmart's Marketside, Wegmans and others.

Officials say that impacted products are likely no longer in store but may still be in homes, and should be thrown away or returned to stores for a refund if so.

Most of the infected people live in New York, Minnesota and Washington, followed by California and Oregon, according to the AP news agency.
