Company Issues Recall For Frozen Fruit Products Due To Hepatitis Outbreak

Scenic Fruit Company said it is recalling frozen organic strawberries sold at Costco and Aldi, and frozen organic tropical blend sold to Trader Joe’s due to an outbreak of Hepatitis A illnesses.

Although Hepatitis A has not been detected in this product, out of an abundance of caution, consumers should stop consuming the product and return it to their local store for a refund, the FDA said.

The company has ceased the production and distribution of the product as FDA and the company continue their investigation as to what caused the problem.
