We regularly enjoy adding frozen blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries to our muesli. Now I’ve read that you shouldn’t eat these berries raw because of viruses and bacteria—you should only eat them after heating them first.
I’d actually prefer not to heat the berries because of the vitamins, and I like them better raw.
What do you recommend? Are the berries washed after harvest? Or is that not possible at all?

Hello Yolibolli, our frozen berries come from carefully selected suppliers who adhere to strict hygiene and food safety standards. We do everything we can to minimize the risk of contamination. This includes comprehensive precautions during cultivation and harvesting, as well as regular spot checks on both our own brands and third-party brands. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to wash these products.
The recommendation to heat frozen berries before consumption is generally given to eliminate any potential residual risk. To prevent foodborne illnesses—especially among vulnerable groups—we recommend heating frozen berries before consumption. Best regards, Susi
