Frozen blueberries sold in four American states and Canada have been recalled due to listeria contamination concerns.
Oregon Potato Company LLC issued a voluntary recall on 55,689 pounds of individually quick-frozen blueberries earlier this month due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a disease-causing bacterium.
The recall was updated Tuesday and declared a Class I, meaning it’s a “situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death,” according to the FDA.
The affected blueberries were packaged in 30-pound cases with polyethylene liners and 1,400-pound totes and were not sold directly to consumers from retail stores, according to the FDA’s enforcement report.
The blueberry cases can be identified by their lot codes, 2055 B2, 2065 B1 and 2065 B3, with expiration dates on July 23 and July 24, 2027. T totes have the lot codes 3305 A1 and 3305 B1 with an expiration date of November 25, 2027.
The blueberries were distributed in Michigan, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin and Canada, according to the report.
There have currently been no reported illnesses.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Listeria are “bacteria that can contaminate many foods” and can infect those who consume those foods. Although symptoms can vary, a listeria infection can “cause invasive illness and intestinal illness.”
Short-term symptoms among healthy individuals with a Listeria infection can include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, and abdominal pain.
Listeria infection is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the United States, killing roughly 172 people per year.
Many food products in the U.S. have been recently recalled due to a risk of listeria. In November 2025, the Ambriola Company recalled select cheese products, including some under the Boar’s Head brand, after routine testing confirmed the presence of Listeria. The recall was elevated to Class I in January.
The recalled products were distributed in 20 states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
