Strawberries recalled due to hepatitis A outbreak across several ... (Fox News)

Fresh strawberries have been linked to the hepatitis A outbreak in North America, triggering a recall according to the FDA and the CDC.

However, health experts warn that in some cases, hepatitis A can cause liver failure and even death in the elderly, or those with serious health issues or compromised immune systems and those with a history of liver disease such as hepatitis B or C. Health experts explained to Fox News that PEP consists of administering a single dose of Hepatitis A vaccine or immunoglobulin within the 2-week exposure period. The FDA stated on its site, "If consumers purchased fresh organic strawberries branded as FreshKampo or HEB between March 5, 2022, and April 25, 2022, ate those berries in the last two weeks, and have not been vaccinated against hepatitis A, they should immediately consult with their healthcare professional to determine whether post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is needed."
