FDA recalls frozen organic strawberries sold at Trader Joe's and Costco - New York Post

Frozen organic strawberries sold in several popular grocery stores — including Trader Joe’s and Costco — were recalled by the FDA Friday after the fruits were linked to multiple hepatitis A cases.

The department said at least five people in Washington State were diagnosed with the highly contagious liver infection after eating the products, which were all linked to California Splendor, Inc. a San Diego-based supplier.

“Based on epidemiological data collected by CDC, 5/5 (100%) people who provided information about what they ate before becoming ill reported eating frozen organic strawberries,” the FDA said.

Strawberries from the botched batch were disturbed throughout the nation and stocked on the shelves of Aldi, Costco, Trader Joe’s, KeHE, Vital Choice Seafood, and PCC Community Markets.
