Hepatitis A Outbreak Linked to Frozen Fruit Sold at Costco and Trader Joe's

Scenic Fruit Company has recalled its frozen organic strawberries from Costco, Aldi, KeHE, Vital Choice Seafoods and PCC Markets as well as its frozen organic tropical blend from Trader Joe's due to a Hepatitis A outbreak. The outbreak has resulted in five documented cases, all in Washington state, with two hospitalizations. The CDC claims that the frozen fruit are the "likely source of this outbreak," advising those who purchased the product to not consume the strawberries. Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection caused by the virus of the same name, with symptoms ranging in severity.
