Frozen blueberries sold in Canada and U.S. recalled over potentially fatal listeria contamination

February 27, 2026

A recall for 55,689 pounds (2,526 kgs) of frozen blueberries distributed in Canada and the U.S. was issued over potentially life-threatening risk of listeria monocytogenes contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration .

The potentially high-risk product was recalled by Salem, U.S.-based Oregon Potato Company and sold across Canada and in U.S. states such as Michigan, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin.

The recall was first issued on Feb. 12 on the FDA’s website but was classified as “Class I” recall on Feb. 24. As per the explanation on the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website, Class I recall is issued when “there is a high risk that consuming the food may lead to serious health problems or death.”

USA Today reports that the fruit was sent to food manufacturers and food service distributors. The FDA release notes that the product was not sold to consumers from retail stores.
