Frozen Raspberries Have Been Recalled In The Delaware Area
More than 1,000 cases of frozen raspberries have been recalled in the Delaware area.
Another recall has been issued for Delaware and surrounding areas. This recall is over the potential of frozen raspberries being contaminated with Hepatitis A.
According to WXIN “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said the recall involves James Farm frozen raspberries sold through Restaurant Depot/Jetro locations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Delaware.The recall was initiated after FDA testing indicated the presence of Hepatitis A in the raspberries identified by the UPC 76069501010 and Lot Code 22-165.”
The FDA broke down the recall even more saying the cases would have these details: 1260 cases of James Farms Frozen Raspberries : 2/5 lb. bags per 10 lb carton, “Best if used by ” date of June 14th, 2024, “Product of Chile.”UPC Code: 76069501010, Lot Code – CO 22-165.
Consumers should throw away the product or return it for a full refund.
Hepatitis A symptoms include fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, abnormal liver tests, dark urine and pale stool.
There are rare cases where Hepatitis A can result in liver failure. This is seen in consumers with pre-existing health issues.
If exposed or you experience symptoms contact your local health department.
People exposed to Hepatitis A usually get sick with these symptoms within 15-30 days. Vaccination should be given within two weeks of the initial exposure to Hepatitis A.
“Since 2011, the FDA said there have been three hepatitis A outbreaks linked to fresh berries. The FDA said the issue is that the virus may be introduced to berries at various points in the supply chain. This includes infected workers, contaminated water or contaminated food contact surfaces. While they may be frozen, this only preserves the berries. It does not inactivate viruses.” according to the FDA and WXIN.
