Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A., which had recalled blueberries in July, expanded the recall to include Great Value-brand Organic Triple Berry Blend 10-oz, Lot Code 6040 01-6 with Best by Date of Feb. 9, 2028. The product could contain e. Coli, the Food and Drug Administration said.
E. coli symptoms — severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, and/or vomiting — begin anywhere from a few days after consuming contaminated food or up to nine days later.
Some infections can cause severe bloody diarrhea and lead to life-threatening conditions, such as a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), or the development of high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, and neurologic problems, the FDA said.
Great Value-brand Organic Triple Berry Blend was shipped to Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin.
GreenWise-brand blueberries were shipped to Publix retail stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Twelve cases of stomach illness were reported between May 11 and June 5, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.
Publix said in its recall announcement that most healthy individuals recover within a week, but some may experience a serious complication known as hemolytic uremic syndrome. That is more likely in young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Also recalled this week was Horizon Organic chocolate milk. The company said the cartons could cause the milk to spoil before they are opened.
The recall includes more than 50,000 cases of its shelf-stable organic 1% chocolate milk that could have an “unpleasant taste, odor, and/or texture,” the company said.
Some customers reported the cartons appeared bloated, the company said. They are investigating the cause.

The cartons were sold in the U.S. in 18- and 12-packs. The recalled 12-packs can be identified by their UPC number, 742365002700, or their “best by” dates, Jan. 28, 2027; Jan. 30, 2027; Jan. 31, 2027; Feb. 1, 2027; Feb. 2, 2027; Feb. 3, 2027. The 18-packs’ UPC number is 742365208867. Their “best by” dates are Jan. 31, 2027; Feb. 1, 2027; Feb. 2, 2027.
The company said throw the product away but keep the receipt and call 1-888-494-3020 to see if you are eligible for a refund.
So far this year, recalls have also been issued for tofu, pasta salad, soup and bread.
Hodo recalled more than 10,000 cases of tofu in 29 states, including South Carolina, because the product may contain ink, the Food and Drug Administration said. Chili Crisp Lightly Fried Tofu has use-by dates ranging from May through November. This is a marinated ready-to-heat tofu in 8-ounce packages.
Reser’s Fine Foods of Halifax, North Carolina, recalled pasta salad because the containers could contain chicken salad instead. Chicken salad should be marked for egg and milk allergens.
The product, sold in a 5-pound plastic tub, was produced on June 11 and is labeled as “Molly’s Kitchen California Style Pasta Salad.”
In July, Amy’s Kitchen recalled organic lentil light soup and Pillsbury recalled two varieties of bread rolls sold to Walmart bakeries.
Soup cans had a defect with the pull tab, leading to the possibility of spoilage, the company said.
The recall affected more than 184,000 cans of soup.
The FDA said two Pillsbury products sold to Walmart bakeries in 19 states were recalled due to possible foreign material contamination, specifically glass.
Pillsbury Bread Rolls, Hard Dough and Kaiser Roll Dough were to be baked by retailers, not sold directly to consumers.
