Publix Recalls All Lots of GreenWise Frozen Blueberries and Whole Mixed Berries (Possible E. coli O145): Check Your Freezer
Quick recall alert: Publix has issued an FDA recall for all lots of GreenWise Organic Frozen Whole Blueberries and GreenWise Organic Frozen Whole Mixed Berries due to possible contamination with E. coli O145:H28. If you have these items in your freezer, stop using them now and follow the FDA instructions for disposal or return.
What to check in your freezer
Check your freezer for GreenWise frozen berries in the specific product forms listed in the FDA recall notice:
- GreenWise Organic Frozen Whole Blueberries
- GreenWise Organic Frozen Whole Mixed Berries
The FDA notice directs shoppers to confirm the bag size on the package. The recalled sizes are:
- 10 oz
- 48 oz
Also compare the package details you can see against what’s identified in the FDA recall notice (for example, the exact product name and packaging information). Because the recall covers all lots, the most important step is matching the product name and the bag size.
What to do right now
- Stop using the recalled frozen berries.
- Remove them from your freezer so they don’t get mixed back into meal planning.
- Follow the FDA recall instructions for how to dispose of or return the product as directed in the official notice.
If you no longer have the original packaging
It’s common to find freezer items with no label—especially when families stock up in bulk. If you can’t identify the recalled product using the original packaging, follow the FDA’s guidance in the recall notice for cases where the item can’t be confirmed from the label. The goal is simple: don’t guess that an unlabeled bag is safe—use the official instructions so you handle the item appropriately.
Why this recall is happening (FDA investigation follow-through)
This FDA recall is linked to the agency’s E. coli O145:H28 frozen-blueberries outbreak investigation. When regulators identify contamination concerns tied to a specific food product, recalls are how the food supply is corrected and how shoppers are given clear next steps. The official FDA outbreak investigation provides the reason this product is under follow-up and why consumers should check what they have at home.
Bottom line checklist for parents and home cooks
- Check your freezer today for GreenWise Organic Frozen Whole Blueberries or Whole Mixed Berries in 10 oz or 48 oz bags.
- If it matches, don’t eat it—remove it and follow the FDA instructions for disposal or return.
- If you can’t confirm the label, use the FDA’s guidance for how to handle an unidentified package.
For the most accurate instructions, stick to the product details in the FDA recall notice and any specific steps it lists for your situation (including what to do if you don’t have the original packaging).
