The FDA’s recall notice and outbreak investigation connect illnesses to this specific GreenWise product. The CDC also amplified the consumer message so people can act promptly.
What’s happening
FDA is investigating a multistate E. coli O145 outbreak, and FDA states it is linked to frozen GreenWise-brand organic IQF blueberries. If you’re the one who grabbed a bag for smoothies, oatmeal, or baking, this is the item to verify.
How to identify the recalled bag
Check the label on your 10-oz bag for both identifiers:
- Find the lot code and confirm it is 60401.
- Find the best-by date and confirm it is Feb. 9, 2028.
Important: Only act if both match the FDA-identified package.
What to do with the product
The FDA recall notice instructs consumers to:
- Stop using the recalled GreenWise Organic Frozen (IQF) Blueberries if the package matches the identifiers above.
- Discard and/or return the product as directed in the FDA notice (follow the retailer instructions listed in the recall document).
If you’re unsure whether your freezer bag matches, pause and check the lot code and best-by date first. This recall is tied to those exact identifiers.
If your family already ate the berries
If you (or someone in your household) already ate the recalled blueberries, the CDC advises people to take the outbreak seriously and follow guidance on seeking medical care when appropriate. For practical next steps, consider:
- Monitor for illness symptoms as described in the CDC’s outbreak information.
- Contact a healthcare provider if symptoms develop or if you have questions about exposure.
- Let your clinician know you ate GreenWise Organic Frozen (IQF) Blueberries and that FDA/CDC are investigating an E. coli O145 outbreak linked to the recalled product.
CDC and FDA updates emphasize acting based on the official guidance—rather than waiting to see how things “might go.”
Keep watching for updates
Outbreak investigations can add details over time. For the most current status, it helps to periodically check the CDC’s E. coli outbreak updates page and the FDA outbreak investigation and recall listings.
Bottom line for busy shoppers
This is a targeted freezer recall. If you have GreenWise Organic Frozen (IQF) Blueberries in a 10-oz bag with lot code 60401 and best-by Feb. 9, 2028, don’t eat it—discard and/or return it as the FDA notice directs. If anyone already ate it, follow the CDC’s guidance on monitoring and when to reach out to a healthcare provider.
