Driscoll's Inc. is voluntarily recalling 1,293 crates of fresh blackberries because they contain Formetante HCI, a pesticide that is not permitted for use on blackberries. The recall affects several clamshell package sizes of Mexico-grown blackberries distributed to centers in eight states. No incidents or illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this product.
The blackberries contain residues of Formetante HCI. This pesticide has no established tolerance level for blackberries, meaning any detection is a safety violation that could pose health risks if consumed.
