Did You Buy a Blueberry Crumble Pie Recently? Here's What You Need to Know.
Did you recently purchase a delicious-looking blueberry crumble pie from the bakery section of your local grocery store? There's a product recall in the United States affecting a specific type of frozen raw blueberry pie. Nobody wants to find out their dessert could make them sick, so here's what you need to know about this 2026 recall.
What's Being Recalled?
Willamette Valley Pie Company, LLC is recalling its Frozen Raw Bulk 9 inch Blueberry Crumble Pie ES (4 pies/case). Each pie has a net weight of 38oz. These pies were sold frozen in bulk packaging to grocery retailers' in-store bakeries. That's an important distinction for American shoppers to understand: these weren't sold directly to you from the manufacturer. Instead, they were intended to be baked by the retailer before being sold to you.
Look for the following identifying information:
- Product: Frozen Raw Bulk 9 inch Blueberry Crumble Pie ES (4 pies/case)
- Net Weight: 38oz
- UPC: 00022518893257
- Brand: Handmade - Willamette Valley Pie Company LLC
- Lot Code: Lot 601316
- Best By Date: 1/13/2028
These Willamette Valley Pie Company pies were distributed to retailers located in Illinois (IL) and Oregon (OR).
Why the Recall? Listeria Concerns.
The reason for this product recall stems from a potential contamination with listeria monocytogenes. Listeria can cause serious infections, especially in vulnerable populations like pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. It’s a Class II recall, meaning exposure could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
What You Should Do
If you work at a grocery store bakery in Illinois or Oregon, here's what you need to do immediately. Remember, these pies were not sold to consumers in their raw, frozen state.
- Check your inventory: Immediately inspect your frozen inventory for the affected Willamette Valley Pie Company Frozen Raw Bulk 9 inch Blueberry Crumble Pie ES with Lot Code 601316 and a "Best By" date of 1/13/2028.
- Do not bake or sell: Remove any affected cases of the blueberry crumble pie from your inventory. Don't bake them, and don't sell them to customers.
- Return the product: Return the affected product to Willamette Valley Pie Company for a full refund. Contact them directly for instructions on how to do this.
- Clean and sanitize: Thoroughly clean and sanitize any surfaces or equipment that may have come into contact with the affected pies. This includes ovens, preparation areas, and freezers.
If you bought a baked blueberry pie from a store in IL or OR, and you're concerned, contact the store for more information about where they source their pies. Retailers are expected to follow very specific safety guidelines.
