Hepatitis A scare prompts Creative Gourmet to recall frozen berries

The maker of Creative Gourmet mixed berries has recalled a “relatively small batch” of its 300g product sold in independent supermarkets across Australia as a precaution after it was linked to three cases of hepatitis A.

The recall comes two years on from a national outbreak of the virus among people who consumed frozen berries.

Entyce Food Ingredients said it was notified by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) that one unopened pack had registered an inconclusive test for the virus.

The company had earlier said the packet had tested positive to traces of hepatitis A.

A second test was negative but the product was voluntarily recalled as a precaution.
