The environment frequently contains the chemical lead. It can be found in food, drink, and even dust. However, lead poisoning can happen if levels of lead go above a particular point and if a person is frequently exposed to higher concentrations. Because of this, BrandStorm decided to recall two lots of freeze-dried blueberries from Natierra.
These frozen blueberries may have lead levels exceeding those advised by the FDA, the business claims.
Recall involving Natierra Organic Freeze-Dried Blueberries
Recently, BrandStorm announced the recall of two lots of Natierra Organic Freeze-Dried Blueberries due to potential high lead levels. Additionally, the press release was made available at this website by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The elevated lead content in the freeze-dried blueberries that are subject to the recall was found by a Maryland laboratory. An inquiry at the packing facility revealed that the fruit's Lithuanian origin may be the source of the issue. Therefore, more intensive heavy metal monitoring may be required.
Two lots of freeze-dried blueberries from Natierra were included in the recall by BrandStorm, as follows:
- - Lot 2021363-1, Best By Date: 12/2024, 1 serving, 1.2oz (34g), UPC 812907011160
- - Lot 2022026-1, Best By Date: 01/2025, 1 serving, 1.2oz (34g), UPC 812907011160
The business offered these products for sale online and in physical stores in the US. They arrive in pouches that are white and blue and bear the Natierra name and emblem. You should have no trouble recognizing the recalled freeze-dried blueberries from the pictures in this post.
Lead Poisoning Risk
Lead exposure is inevitable, but lead poisoning only results from chronic exposure to increasing lead concentrations.
People with high blood levels of lead may not exhibit any symptoms. But internal organs and the neurological system will be affected by lead toxicity. Acute lead poisoning can also result in nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and reduced or bloody urine production.

According to a statement from Dr. Kenneth Rosenman, MD, Professor of Medicine at Michigan State University, "lead accumulates in our bodies, and you want to minimize as much exposure as possible." Probably consuming a lot of blueberries would be necessary for lead poisoning.
Lead on fresh vegetables is extremely uncommon, and lead in fresh produce hasn't been a problem and shouldn't be a concern. We need to learn more about these situations and how the blueberries were affected because, in general, lead is not a problem for produce.
According to BrandStorm, there have been no reports of unfavorable incidents connected to the recall of Natierra freeze-dried blueberries.
