The recall affects 10-ounce packages of GreenWise Organic IQF Blueberries that were distributed to Publix stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
According to Publix, the recall was initiated by supplier Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A. of San Carlos, Chile, after reports linked the product to illnesses.
The recalled product includes:
- Product: GreenWise Organic IQF Blueberries (Frozen)

According to a news release issued by Publix, there have been 12 confirmed cases of E. coli infections reported between May 11 and June 5, linked to the consumption of the recalled blueberries.
