New Jersey-based Fabalish Inc. has recalled its “Kickin’ Carrot Falafel Bites” due to concerns about possible E. coli contamination, which could lead to serious health complications.

The product is being withdrawn from sale after California-based Grimmway Farms recalled organic whole carrots due to similar concerns about contamination with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O121:H19. Fabalish’s recalled falafel products use Grimmway’s carrots as one of their ingredients.
