Frozen blueberries distributed in Canada recalled over possible listeria contamination: U.S. FDA
Oregon Potato Company recalled 25,260 kilograms of frozen blueberries over Listeria risk; the Class I recall indicates a serious health threat, officials said.
- Oregon Potato Company, Salem, Oregon, recalled 25,260 kilograms of IQF frozen blueberries for possible Listeria contamination, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified the recall as "Class I" on Feb. 24.
- Because regulators judged the contamination high-risk, the recall was deemed a 'Class I recall' after health officials flagged possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination, which can cause listeriosis with symptoms like nausea and severe complications in vulnerable groups.
- The recalled blueberries were packed in polyethylene bags inside corrugated cases or polyethylene liners within totes and distributed in Michigan, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin without direct retail sales.
- A cross-border discrepancy emerged between U.S. and Canadian accounts as the FDA said the products reached Canada, while Canada's CFIA told CBC News on Friday no recall has been issued domestically.
- With distribution details unclear, the FDA did not specify sales locations, and CFIA investigators confirmed the imported product was secured at the importer’s warehouse.
