is strawberries at store okay to eat?

My kids love strawberries. I just want to make sure that strawberries at supermarkets are all good now, and not subject to recall.

I mean if you’re in the dmv it’s strawberry season now so you’d get way better quality at a farmer’s market or farm stand but as far as I know there’s is no recall on commercial strawberries at the moment.

It’s only two brands of organic strawberries that are being recalled:

“Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not sell, serve, or eat any fresh organic strawberries branded as FreshKampo or HEB if purchased between March 5, 2022, and April 25, 2022,” the FDA wrote in a statement published Saturday.
The FDA said the potentially affected fruit had been sold nationwide in at least nine popular grocery chains, including Aldi, Safeway, Trader Joe’s and Walmart, adding that the strawberries were “a likely cause of illness in this outbreak.”
