Frozen GreenWise Organic IQF Blueberries Recalled (Lot 60401, 10-oz) After CDC E. coli O145 Warning — Check Your Freezer
Do a quick freezer check: If you have GreenWise Organic IQF Blueberries in 10-oz bags labeled Lot Code 60401 with a Best By date of Feb. 9, 2028, follow the FDA recall instructions. CDC has also issued an E. coli outbreak warning linked to frozen blueberries, reinforcing why shoppers should act promptly.
Quick freezer-check (do this first)
- Find the package in your freezer.
- Verify it matches all identifiers: GreenWise Organic IQF Blueberries, 10-oz, Lot 60401, Best By Feb. 9, 2028.
- Do not eat the recalled product.
- Follow the FDA notice for whether to discard it or return/refund it as directed.
What’s going on (FDA + CDC connection)
The FDA recall notice identifies specific lots of Frozen GreenWise Organic IQF Blueberries and tells consumers what to do with affected bags. In parallel, CDC has warned about an E. coli outbreak that it links to frozen blueberries, tying today’s consumer “check your freezer” steps directly to the product identifiers in the FDA recall.
In other words: even though frozen foods are typically handled with care, this is a case where the exact lot and best-by date matter.
The exact product to check
According to FDA’s recall notice, the affected item is:
- Product: Frozen GreenWise Organic IQF Blueberries
- Package size: 10-oz bag
- Lot Code: 60401
- Best By: Feb. 9, 2028
Only packages that match these identifiers are the ones you should act on.
What to do if you have the recalled bag
FDA’s recall notice provides the consumer instructions for this product. Use it to decide the right next step for your situation (the notice explains whether you should discard the product and/or return it for a refund).
Step-by-step “what now” checklist
- Pull the bag from your freezer.
- Confirm the label matches Lot 60401 and Best By Feb. 9, 2028.
- Do not taste-test or “cook it anyway.”
- Follow the FDA instructions exactly for discard or return/refund.
- If you have already served it, look to the CDC and FDA guidance on what the warning means and keep an eye on official updates.
What not to do
- Don’t assume all GreenWise or all frozen blueberry bags are affected.
- Don’t rely on storage or cooking to “fix” a recall situation—when FDA identifies a specific lot, the safe move is to follow the notice.
