UAE authorities have confirmed that no frozen berry products from GreenWise, a US brand, are being sold in local markets following a recent recall due to potential E. coli contamination, according to a statement from the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. The recall, announced by US grocery chain Publix on July 29, affected four varieties of GreenWise organic frozen blueberries and mixed berries sold across eight states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The US Food and Drug Administration classified the recall as a Class 1, indicating a high risk of serious health consequences or death. The FDA reported 12 cases of E. coli infection linked to the recalled products, all occurring in Florida and Georgia between May 11 and June 5, with no reported deaths. The affected products had expiry dates before February 9, 2028. Consumers are advised to discard or return the recalled items to Publix for a full refund.
