GreenWise Organic Frozen Blueberries Recalled: Check Lot Code 60401 Before You Eat or Serve
Check your freezer now: GreenWise organic frozen IQF blueberries are under recall tied to an E. coli investigation, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If your package shows lot code 60401 and the Best-by date(s) listed by FDA, do not eat the berries. Follow the discard/return steps below.
What to check on the package (FDA identifiers)
Look for these specific identifiers on the product label or any remaining packaging you have:
- Product: GreenWise organic frozen IQF blueberries
- Lot code: 60401
- Best-by date: the Best-by date(s) listed in the FDA recall notice
If your lot code is 60401 (and the Best-by date matches FDA’s listing), treat the berries as affected.
What FDA reported in the E. coli investigation
FDA’s outbreak investigation page describes illnesses associated with E. coli and provides the reported illness and hospitalization counts connected to the investigation details. You can read the specifics on FDA’s investigation write-up for the full context.
Key point for shoppers: FDA reports illnesses and hospitalizations in the investigation materials, and the linked recall provides the consumer actions for the specific product identifiers.
Recall reason
FDA’s recall notice states the concern is potential E. coli contamination, connected to the outbreak investigation.
What to do if you have the affected blueberries
FDA’s recall notice gives straightforward next steps:
- Do not eat the affected berries (even if they look, smell, or taste normal).
- Discard or return the recalled GreenWise organic frozen IQF blueberries according to the instructions in the FDA notice.
- If you no longer have the original packaging: check whether you can find any remaining label details, lot information, or purchase records (for example, receipts, grocery order history, or freezer inventory notes). Then follow the FDA guidance on how to confirm whether your purchase may match the affected lot code and what to do next.
If you already cooked or served them
FDA’s consumer guidance focuses on keeping the affected product out of the food supply (discard/return). If you served the berries to anyone and you’re unsure whether it matched the lot code 60401 and the Best-by dates listed by FDA, review the identifier info and follow the next steps described in the recall notice. For general recall navigation, FoodSafety.gov also explains how to interpret recall instructions.
How to confirm you’re looking at the right notice
FDA’s recall notice is the place to double-check the exact Best-by date(s) that pair with lot code 60401. The FoodSafety.gov “Recalls & Outbreaks” page also provides practical advice for what to do at home when you see a recall.
Bottom line: If your GreenWise organic frozen IQF blueberries show lot code 60401 and the Best-by date listed by FDA, set them aside and discard or return them—don’t try to cook around the risk.
