On July 3, Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A. first initiated a recall for GreenWise-brand frozen organic blueberries, and it expanded on July 29 to include GreenWise frozen mixed berries, all sold at Publix stores. 

E. coli can cause illnesses defined by serious stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting. According to the FDA, while most people recover within a week, some infections could result in a severe complication known as "hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)," specifically in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
