US frozen berry E. coli recalls

Overview

A food safety concern involving frozen berries has expanded across multiple retailers due to potential E. coli O145:H28 contamination.

Initially, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) upgraded a recall for Publix GreenWise organic frozen blueberries and mixed berries to Class I, the highest risk level. This action followed an outbreak that sickened 12 people in Florida and Georgia, with four hospitalizations reported. The recall was linked to a Chilean supplier, Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A.

Following traceback information, the recall was expanded to include Walmart’s Great Value Organic Triple Berry Blend. While no specific illnesses have been tied to the Walmart product, the company issued the recall as a precaution. The affected Walmart products were distributed across 16 states.
