The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to eat, sell, or serve certain brands of frozen organic strawberries after five people have been infected with hepatitis A after eating them.[0]<\/a><\/sup> Two individuals have been admitted to the hospital.[1]<\/a><\/sup> The two suppliers involved in the recall are California Splendor of San Diego, California, and Scenic Fruit Company of Gresham, Oregon.<\/p>\n

The hepatitis A virus is the cause of a contagious liver disease known as hepatitis A.[2]<\/a><\/sup> Typically, symptoms will appear 15 to 20 days after consuming food or water that has been contaminated; such symptoms are fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, abnormal liver tests, dark urine, and light-colored stool.[2]<\/a><\/sup> In young children under 6 years old, certain infections may not produce any signs or symptoms.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The recalled strawberries have “best by” dates that range from April to November 2024.[3]<\/a><\/sup> The FDA’s website provides a comprehensive list of the strawberries that have been recalled.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The recalled items include Trader Joe’s Organic Tropical Fruit Blend Pineapple, Bananas, Strawberries & Mango; Vital Choice Organic Strawberries; Made With Organic Strawberries; and Simply Nature Organic Strawberries.[4]<\/a><\/sup> They were sold at Trader Joe’s, Costco, Aldi, KeHE, Vital Choice Seafood and PCC Community Markets in certain states and at Trader Joe\u2019s nationwide.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
