Frozen organic strawberries recalled over possible link to hepatitis A outbreak

Quick Summary

Food and Drug Administration is investigating an outbreak of hepatitis A infections that may be linked to frozen organic strawberries.

Five people have been sickened with confirmed or probable cases, including two hospitalized, in the outbreak, the FDA said Friday.

Both companies noted in their recall announcements that hepatitis A has not been detected on the products but "out of an abundance of caution" consumers should stop consuming the recalled items and return them to their local store for a refund.
