Massive recall hits frozen blueberries over Listeria contamination risk

More than 55,000 pounds of IQF blueberries were recalled after the FDA upgraded the recall to Class I due to a potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The frozen berries, shipped in 30-pound cases and 1,400-pound totes, were distributed in Michigan, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin and Canada and were not sold directly to consumers in stores. Listeria infection can be severe, especially for older adults, newborns and those with weakened immune systems.
