Organic strawberries sold in Saskatchewan have been linked to a hepatitis A outbreak.
According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, organic strawberries were sold in Co-op stores in Saskatchewan and Alberta between March 5 and 9.
In April, six people in Saskatchewan and four people in Alberta were infected with hepatitis A, resulting in four people being hospitalized and no deaths reported.
The strawberries are no longer available for purchase; however, the agency says some shoppers may have frozen the fruit.
The agency warns on its website: "Dispose of any remaining organic strawberries." "If you do not know where the strawberries came from, dispose of them."
The agency recommends going to the nearest medical care unit if you have eaten organic strawberries and have symptoms consistent with hepatitis A, such as fever, dark urine, loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and stomach pain.
