The current blueberry recall in the news involves bulk frozen blueberries , not the fresh clamshells most shoppers buy in stores.

What blueberries are recalled right now?

As of late February 2026, the key recall is:

  • Product type: Individually quick frozen (IQF) blueberries.
  • Form:
    • 30‑pound corrugated cases with plastic liners.
* 1,400‑pound bulk totes.
  • Company: Oregon Potato Company LLC, operating as Willamette Valley Fruit Company in Salem, Oregon.
  • Amount recalled: About 55,689 pounds (often described as “nearly 60,000 pounds”) of frozen blueberries.
  • Reason: Possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes , a bacterium that can cause serious or sometimes fatal infections, especially in pregnant people, older adults, and those with weak immune systems.
  • Recall level: Classified by the FDA as a Class I recall , the highest risk category (reasonable probability of serious health consequences or death).
  • Where distributed: Sent to distribution centers in Michigan, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, and Canada ; they were not sold directly to consumers in retail stores.

In other words, these are industrial/bulk frozen blueberries used by other food companies or institutions, rather than branded retail bags or fresh boxes in the supermarket.

Should you worry about blueberries at home?

For most regular shoppers:

  • The recalled blueberries are bulk frozen lots , not typical grocery‑store consumer bags or fresh pint containers.
  • If you only buy branded retail frozen bags or fresh berries in clamshells , check the label: they would need to clearly match this producer and lot type to be part of this recall.
  • If you run or work in a food business, school, or facility that buys large 30‑lb cases or 1,400‑lb totes of frozen blueberries, you should cross‑check your purchase records and lot information against the FDA recall notice.

What to do if you’re unsure

  • Check your freezer for any unbranded or bulk frozen blueberries that might have come from a distributor in the affected states.
  • When in doubt for a product that might match this description, the safest move is to avoid using it and contact the supplier for clarification.
