FDA Elevates Publix Frozen Berry Recall to Highest Risk Level Due to E. coli Contamination

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has upgraded the recall of Publix's GreenWise Organic Whole Blueberries and Whole Mixed Berries to a Class I recall, its most severe classification. This upgrade signifies that consumption or exposure to these products could lead to serious health problems or death.

The berries have been linked to a multistate E. coli outbreak that has sickened a dozen people, with four hospitalizations.

The affected products include 10-ounce and 48-ounce bags of GreenWise Organic Whole Blueberries (UPC 41415-06453 and 41415-12053) and GreenWise Organic Whole Mixed Berries (UPC 41415-06753 and 41415-12153). Consumers are advised to discard these products or return t...
