If you buy frozen fruit at Costco, you may want to check your stash.
Costco has recalled frozen strawberries due to possible hepatitis contamination.
If fact, the recall is so bad, the CDC has now issued a report stating that there have been two hospitalizations due to the recalled frozen fruit.
The 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 have all been recalled.
According to the CDC:
Epidemiologic and traceback evidence indicate that frozen organic strawberries, imported fresh from certain farms located in Baja California, Mexico in 2022, are the likely source of this outbreak. The hepatitis A virus strain causing illnesses in this outbreak is genetically identical to the strain that caused a foodborne hepatitis A outbreak in 2022, which was linked to fresh organic strawberries imported from Baja California, Mexico, and sold at various retailers.
The lots subject to this recall are as follows:
| 140962-08 | 142222-23 | 142792-54 | 142862-57 | 142912-59 |
