Check your freezers – a case of hepatitis A has been linked to frozen strawberries sold at Trader Joe’s, Costco and other stores.
An investigation led by the FDA, CDC and the California Department of Public Health has linked the outbreak to frozen strawberries imported from farms in Baja California, Mexico.
Symptoms of hepatitis A happen within 15 to 50 days of eating or drinking contaminated food or water and include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and dark urine. Sometimes a hepatitis A infection may be asymptomatic, especially in children under the age of 6 years old. Any consumer who purchased the affected strawberries should not consume them and throw them out immediately. Those that did consume the affected batch and are not vaccinated against hepatitis A should seek preventative treatment from a healthcare professional.
A total of two hospitalizations and seven illnesses have occurred from the outbreak, according to the FDA.
