Dole Fresh Fruit Company is recalling approximately 22,545 units of Dole Fresh Picked Blueberries because the Canadian Food Inspection Agency found Cyclospora cayetanensis during testing. The recall affects four different container sizes (6 oz., 18 oz., 24 oz., and pint) sold in clear plastic packaging. Consumers who purchased these blueberries should not eat them and should return them to the store where they were bought for a full refund.
The blueberries may be contaminated with Cyclospora cayetanensis, a microscopic parasite that causes an intestinal illness called cyclosporiasis. Symptoms can include severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and nausea, which can last for several weeks if left untreated.
Full refund at point of purchase
