If you’ve got frozen fruit in your freezer, you may want to check the packaging. According to a recent announcement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Oregon-based Willamette Valley Fruit Co is voluntarily recalling certain packages of frozen fruit containing strawberries grown in Mexico. The frozen fruit is being recalled because the strawberries are potentially contaminated with Hepatitis A.

While there have been no reported illnesses associated with this recall to date, Hepatitis A—a contagious liver disease that results from exposure to the Hepatitis A virus—can be very dangerous. Per the FDA, Hepatitis A can range from a mild illness lasting a few weeks, to a serious illness lasting several months. Illness generally occurs within 15 to 50 days of exposure, and symptoms include fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, abnormal liver tests, dark urine, and pale stool. 

In rare cases, particularly in consumers who have a pre-existing severe illness or are immune compromised, Hepatitis A infection can progress to liver failure. Those who may have consumed any of the above recalled items should consult with their health care professional or local health department to determine if a vaccination is appropriate. Additionally, consumers with symptoms of Hepatitis A should contact their health care professionals or the local health department immediately. 

Given the seriousness of Hepatitis A, the FDA is urging consumers to check their freezers for the recalled products. Furthermore, if consumers happen to be in possession of any recalled items, they should not consume them and either discard them or return them to the store for a refund. Products that have different lot code or purchase dates are not subject to this recall.
