The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has announced a recall of frozen blueberries sold in eight states that may be contaminated with Escherichia coli O145:H28 (E. coli O145). Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A. of San Carlos, Chile, is recalling its Frozen GreenWise Organic IQF Blueberries sold at Publix stores after 12 confirmed cases of E. coli infection were reported.

How To Identify the Recalled Frozen Blueberries

The recalled frozen blueberries were sold in 10-ounce bags labeled “Organic GreenWise Whole Blueberries.” Only the frozen blueberries with the lot code “60401” and best-by date of Feb. 9, 2028, on the packaging are impacted by this recall.

The FDA has label images to help customers identify the contaminated berries on its site.

The recalled frozen blueberries were sold at Publix stores only in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

What To Do if You Have the Recalled Frozen Blueberries

Frutas y Hortalizas S.A. initiated the recall after customers complained of digestive illnesses following consumption of the frozen blueberries. At the time of this reporting, 12 confirmed cases linked to E. coli O145:H28 have been reported.

If you have the recalled GreenWise frozen blueberries, you should not consume them. Instead, throw them away or return them to your Publix store for a full refund.

If you’ve already consumed the frozen blueberries, you should monitor yourself for an E. coli infection. Common symptoms include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting. Most healthy individuals recover from E. coli infections within a week; however, young children, older people, and those with weakened immune systems can have more serious complications, including hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which can be life-threatening.

If you are experiencing E. coli symptoms or have questions related to the foodborne illness, you should contact your healthcare provider. For questions regarding this recall, you can contact Frutas y Hortalizas S.A. directly at Info.foodsafety@comfrut.com or 336-899-5612.
