Blueberry Recall 2026: Oregon Potato Company flags 55, 689 pounds
Oregon Potato Company, a family-owned business in Salem that specializes in frozen and dehydrated potatoes, vegetables and fruits, has flagged 55, 689 pounds of individually quick-frozen blueberries, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration said. While an initial notice was made on Feb. 12, regulators on Tuesday upgraded the action to a Class 1 recall, with officials warning that exposure to the potential Listeria monocytogenes "could cause serious adverse health consequences or death. "
Where the product moved: four states and Canada
The affected product was distributed to businesses — not sold directly to consumers in retail stores — across Michigan, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin, and it also moved throughout Canada. The FDA said the recall was initiated email and remains ongoing.
Packaging, lot codes and expiration dates identified
The recalled items include 30-pound cases with expiration dates from July 23, 2027, to July 24, 2027, bearing lot codes 2055 B2, 2065 B1 and 2065 B3; these are packaged in polyethylene bags within corrugated cases in a dual-layered design. Regulators also identified 1, 400-pound totes with lot codes 3305 A1 and 3305 B1, both expiring on Nov. 25, 2027, packaged in polyethylene liners within Gaylord totes, which are heavy-duty, industrial-grade plastic bags placed in large bulk-shipping containers.
What the risk means: Listeria details and symptoms
The agency warned that L. monocytogenes is generally transmitted where food is harvested and processed in manufacturing or production environments. Listeria monocytogenesis is a disease-causing bacteria that can cause foodborne illness, leading to symptoms such as fever, diarrhea and vomiting.
Because the product moved between businesses in the supply chain, facilities that received lots 2055 B2, 2065 B1, 2065 B3, 3305 A1 or 3305 B1 should check inventory and hold or return affected units; the blueberry recall 2026 remains active and regulators have characterized it at the most severe recall level.
Officials upgraded the recall to Class 1 on Tuesday; the recall was initiated email and is ongoing. Companies and facilities in the distribution list and those handling the specified lot codes and expiration dates are the immediate focus as regulators continue follow-up actions.
