A recall first announced on June 9, 2025 by Seal The Seasons Inc, based in Durham, North Carolina for 208 cases of frozen organic blueberries due to possible Listeria monocytogenes (Listeria) contamination remains ongoing.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has classified this as a Class 1 recall, meaning that exposure to the recalled product may result in severe health consequences or even death.

Health Risks

Listeriosis, the infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes, is particularly dangerous for certain vulnerable populations. Pregnant individuals, people aged 65 or older, and those with weakened immune systems are at highest risk. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, sometimes preceded by gastrointestinal symptoms. In pregnant individuals, listeriosis can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infections in newborns.
Any consumer with symptoms of Listeria should contact their healthcare provider immediately, says leading nationwide Listeria law firm Ron Simon & Associates
