Check Your Freezer: More Frozen Berries Recalled for E. coli
5 Oct
Summary
- Additional frozen berry lots recalled due to E. coli contamination risk.
- Recalled berries sold at Walmart and Trader Joe's nationwide.
- Consumers advised to discard or return recalled berry products.
Consumers are urged to check their freezers as a recall for frozen berries has been expanded to include additional lots. Great Value frozen Organic Triple Berry Blend, Great Value frozen Organic Blueberries, and Trader Joe's frozen Organic Mixed Berry Blend are affected due to potential E. coli contamination.
This market action is a precautionary measure following traceback information linked to previously recalled frozen blueberries. The recalled products were distributed nationwide, sold at Walmart and Trader Joe's stores. The E. coli bacteria can lead to severe gastrointestinal illness, including bloody diarrhea and vomiting.
Consumers who purchased the recalled berries should discard them or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention previously investigated an E. coli outbreak linked to these products, which affected 17 people across Florida and Georgia.
