Which Walmart Great Value Berries Are Recalled? The Package Details I Checked

Why I looked this up

I wanted to know what “Walmart Great Value berry recall” actually referred to: a particular berry blend, a particular package, or the entire frozen-berry range. I checked the FDA-hosted company announcement rather than treating the search phrase as a product description.

The answer is specific. The company’s September 2, 2026, announcement, published by FDA on September 3, recalls one lot of Great Value Organic Triple Berry Blend because of potential E. coli O145:H28 contamination. It is not an announcement recalling every Great Value frozen-berry product. These notes concern package identification and the published return instructions, not medical advice.

The package details that matter

I put the identifiers from the FDA-hosted recall announcement together so the brand name does not become the whole test.

Check on the package	What the announcement lists
Product	Great Value Organic Triple Berry Blend
Contents	Strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries
Package size	10 oz
Lot code	6040 01-6, on the front of the package
Best if used by	February 9, 2028
UPC	7874211226, as printed in the announcement

The announcement says the product was sold at select Walmart stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin. That wording does not mean every Walmart in those states carried the affected lot.

My takeaway is to compare the complete product and lot information, rather than relying on “Great Value,” “berries,” or the state of purchase alone. The announcement instructs consumers not to eat the recalled product and to discard it or return it to Walmart for a full refund.

How I would apply those details

Hypothetical example: Suppose someone bought a 10 oz Great Value Organic Triple Berry Blend at a Walmart in Texas. Their package shows lot 6040 01-6 and a best-if-used-by date of February 9, 2028. Those assumed details match the product, lot, date, and a state listed in the announcement, so the published discard-or-return instruction applies.

Now change one assumption: the package has a different lot code. The shared brand, blend, size, and purchase state would not establish that it belongs to this particular recalled lot. That is a limit of this notice—not proof that the other package is safe or unaffected by any other recall.

The distinction matters because the announcement identifies a lot, while the search phrase identifies only a brand and a broad type of food.

What I checked when the package is missing

I also wanted to know what happens when frozen berries have been transferred into another container and the identifying bag is gone.

The FDA’s separate frozen-blueberry outbreak investigation page addresses that uncertainty: if the packaging is gone and someone cannot determine whether the berries are recalled, FDA advises throwing them away. It also advises cleaning and sanitizing containers and surfaces that contacted recalled berries.

For me, that is the useful dividing line: a readable package allows a comparison with the named lot; missing packaging can leave that comparison unresolved. I would not replace missing identifiers with a guess based on what the berries look like.
