Food Safety Recall - Frozen Berries - Please check your freezers for the following items and discard immediately - Frozen Triple berry blend and frozen blueberries sold from Walmart due to E.Coli contamination. Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A. expands its July 3, 2026, recall of frozen organic IQF blueberries to include one lot of Great Value frozen Organic Triple Berry Blend 10 OZ because of potential contamination with Escherichia coli O145 (E. coli O145).

E. coli O145 is a Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) that can cause illness characterized by severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (which may be bloody), and vomiting. While most healthy individuals recover within a week, some infections may result in a serious complication known as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), particularly in young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

These products were sold in Wisconsin and linked to 17 illnesses so far.

Protect your backyard flock this fall. Migrating birds can bring avian flu to your flock when they share food and water sources.

DATCP has identified a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in a commercial poultry flock in Barron County.

DATCP and the U.S. Department of Agriculture animal health officials are working together in a joint incident response. The affected premises has been quarantined to restrict movement of poultry and poultry products. Birds on the property were depopulated to prevent the spread of the disease. Birds from the flock will not enter the food system.

Immunizations have made it p...
