Swift Blueberry Recall Protects Public Health

Quick Smiles:

• Swift action recalls over 55,000 pounds for safety.
• Bulk-only product keeps consumers largely unaffected.
• FDA shares vital tips to stay healthy.

The Oregon Potato Company LLC recalled more than 55,000 pounds of frozen blueberries from four U.S. states and Canada.

Products bear Willamette Valley Fruit Company name in 30-pound cases or 1,400-pound totes.

Affected lot codes: cases 2055 B2 (exp. 7/23/2027), 2065 B1 and B3 (7/24/2027); totes 3305 A1 and B1 (11/25/2027).

Recall began February 12 and earned Class I status February 24.

“Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a type of disease-causing bacteria that can be found in many places,” the FDA says.

People who eat contaminated food “may develop a disease called listeriosis.”

A Class I recall means “a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”

No retail sales means low consumer risk, but businesses should check supplies.

FDA urges wiping spills, handwashing, fridge cleaning, surface sanitizing, and contacting health departments if worried.

High-risk groups include pregnant people, young kids, seniors, and those with weak immunity.

Vigilance ensures safer meals—thank you to proactive teams keeping us well!
