Thank you for the heads up! I just purchased organic carrots and thankfully my bag isn’t included in the recall.
You’re welcome Laura! ❤️ Glad to hear your bag wasn’t affected!
Scary! I had 3 bags that were affected! I’ve been cooking with one of them and thankfully we’ve been fine. But I’m tossing the others. Bummer but thankful!
