Mixed berry hepatitis recall

7943341

ACT Health has received advice that Patties Foods Ltd is recalling Nanna’s Mixed Berries (Frozen) 1kg packs from Coles, Woolworths, IGA and other independent supermarkets, due to potential Hepatitis A contamination.

ACT Health is advising that this product should not be consumed.

Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The affected products are all batches up to and including best before 22 November 2016.

More information about the recall is available on the Food Standards Australia and New Zealand website.

Hepatitis A is caused by a virus. Symptoms of infection include abdominal pain, nausea, fever, yellow skin and eyes (jaundice) and/or dark urine and pale faeces. These symptoms usually start within 28-30 days of exposure to the virus but this can range from 15-50 days.

Anyone concerned about their health should seek medical advice from their GP.

There have been no cases of Hepatitis A notified in the ACT in 2015.

A fact sheet on Hepatitis A is available at http://www.health.act.gov.au/publications/fact-sheets/hepatitis-a
