Fox Business • • business
Key Points:
- Publix is voluntarily recalling all lots of its GreenWise Organic Whole Blueberries and Whole Mixed Berries sold in eight states due to potential contamination with E. coli O145, expanding a previous recall linked to a single lot.
- The recalled products were distributed in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, and have been removed from sale since late June.
- Customers are advised not to consume the recalled berries and can return them to any Publix store for a full refund.
- The E. coli O145:H28 strain involved can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms and serious complications, especially in vulnerable populations such as young children and the elderly.
- Publix has not confirmed any illnesses linked to the recall, and further information is available through the CDC and Publix Customer Care.
