Consumption of impacted products could cause "serious adverse health consequences or death," according to the FDA.

The FDA elevated the recall on Tuesday, July 1, to a Class I recall — the highest, most serious recall classification. This classification is defined as a situation where there's a “reasonable probability” that consuming the contaminated product could lead to serious health issues, including death.

The FDA has issued a Class I grade recall for 12,000 pounds of organic blueberries that were shipped to North Carolina.
