LAKELAND, Fla., July 5, 2026—Publix is recalling frozen blueberries due to the possibility of E. coli contamination.

The 10-ounce packaged of blueberries are made by Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A., San Carlos, Chile.

E. coli can cause illness characterized by severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (which may be bloody) and vomiting.

While most healthy individuals recover within a week, some infections may result in a serious complication known as hemolytic uremic syndrome, particularly in young children, older adults and individuals with weakened immune systems.

There have been reports of 12 confirmed cases of consumers experiencing stomach illness between May 11 and June 5 linked with E. coli infections.

After receiving reports of consumers experiencing digestive illnesses and having consumed GreenWise frozen blueberries as part of their diet, Frutas y Hortalizas S.A. has decided to initiate the recall.
