Blueberries

Beta: outbreak-focused, recall matching in progress

Category
Produce

Public Health Trace has 5 outbreak investigations and 42 recalls linked to Blueberries, reported by CDC, FDA, and USDA.

Safe-handling guidance for blueberries should come from an authoritative source such as FoodSafety.gov, not this page - Public Health Trace summarizes recall and outbreak records, it does not publish handling advice itself.

Food-to-recall linking is still in progress

This page prioritizes outbreak investigations, which are reliably linked to Blueberries. Recall records aren't yet reliably matched to specific foods, so the recall section further down may be incomplete even when Blueberries has real recalls on record.
