Grimmway Farms is the California-based produce company at the center of an ongoing carrot recall that's connected to a nationwide E. coli outbreak.

A recall of organic carrots that has sickened 39 people and killed one grew bigger on Thursday, as Grimmway Farms added four new bag types to the list of recalled products. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the E. coli outbreak on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Grimmway Farms has recalled its organic carrots after health officials linked them to an E. coli outbreak. A woman who was hospitalized sued the company this week. Putting enemies of science in charge of science policy is a formula for mass injury and death, history reminds us.
