Costco recalls frozen fruit due to hepatitis A outbreak.

Wawona Frozen Foods is recalling year-old bags of frozen fruit that were shipped to Costco stores due to potential contamination with Hepatitis A. The recall includes 4-pound packages of Organic DayBreak Blend, which were distributed to Costco stores in five states between April and June 2022. The hepatitis A virus strain causing illnesses in this outbreak is genetically identical to the strain that led to the foodborne hepatitis A outbreak in 2022, which was also linked to fresh organic strawberries imported from Baja California, Mexico. Consumers are urged to check their freezers for the recalled blend, not to consume it, and either discard the product or return it.
