These blueberries contain a toxin-producing strain of E. coli that can cause severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting. While most people recover within a week, some, especially young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems, can develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious complication that can lead to kidney failure. Affected: Lot Code 60401 with Best By Date: February 9, 2028.


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


Do not eat these recalled blueberries. Check your freezer for the affected product and either discard it or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. For additional information, contact Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A. at 1-336-899-5612 or [email protected]
