Oregon Potato Company Blueberry Recall

Oregon Potato Company, operating as Willamette Valley Fruit Company, initiated a voluntary recall of nearly 60,000 pounds of frozen blueberries on February 12, 2026, due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The United States — Food and Drug Administration subsequently escalated this to a Class I recall on February 24, 2026, its most serious classification, indicating a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death. The recalled product was distributed in United States — Michigan, United States — Oregon, United States — Washington (state), United States — Wisconsin, and Canada, but not sold directly to consumers in retail stores. No illnesses have been reported to date, but Listeriosis can cause severe and potentially fatal infections, especially in vulnerable populations.
