Driscoll's Fresh Blackberries Recalled for Pesticide Residue Exceeding Limits
Driscoll's Inc. is recalling fresh blackberries in 6 oz. and 18 oz. containers because pesticide levels exceeded the US limit.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which the rubric indicates is typically a score of 1 or 2. Given the presence of a pesticide residue exceeding the legal limit, a score of 2 (Moderate) is appropriate as it involves a regulatory compliance issue rather than a cosmetic defect.
