In early July 2026, Publix began recalling its GreenWise frozen blueberries after a potential E. coli contamination was identified. By month‑end officials confirmed the Shiga‑toxin‑producing E. coli O145:H28 strain, traced to a Chilean producer, was linked to an outbreak that sickened 12 people, four of them hospitalized. The recall was expanded to cover all GreenWise organic frozen blueberries and mixed‑berry packages sold in eight Southern states, and the FDA placed the Chilean supplier on an import alert, detaining future shipments pending inspection. On July 31, Publix broadened the recall to include every lot of its GreenWise Organic whole blueberries and whole mixed berries, in both 10‑ounce and 48‑ounce packages, sold in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
