Hepatitis A Outbreak Linked to Frozen Strawberries Sold at Costco and Trader Joe's

The FDA has recalled frozen organic strawberries sold at Costco, Trader Joe's and Aldi after they were linked to cases of hepatitis A. At least five people in Washington State were diagnosed with the highly contagious liver infection after eating the products, which were all linked to California Splendor, Inc. a San Diego-based supplier. The impacted strawberries were all imported from farms in Baja California, Mexico. Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not sell, serve, or eat recalled frozen strawberries. Symptoms of Hepatitis A usually occur 15 to 50 days after consuming contaminated products.
