Dole Diversified Recalls Blueberries due to Cyclospora Contamination

06/30/2021

According to an FDA release on June 25th, Dole Diversified New America Inc. has recalled Dole™ fresh blueberries as a result of Cyclospora contamination.  Affected products were distributed in four U.S. states in the upper Midwest and New England and in two Canadian provinces.  Cyclospora has previously been associated with contaminated raspberries.  Infection with the protozoon parasite produces nausea, diarrhea of relatively short duration, but may produce more serious symptoms and consequences in immunosuppressed patients and those with underlying intestinal conditions.


Cyclospora in humans has a life cycle similar to Eimeria coccidiosis in chickens
