Hepatitis outbreak linked to frozen strawberries from Egypt

Food Safety News  from yesterday:  http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2016/09/fda-seeks-egypts-help-on-outbreak-linked-to-strawberries/

 

Hepatitis A is not something to pass off as minor.  It can have serious effects on people with liver disease or compromised immune systems, people with transplants, taking anti-rejection drugs.  

 

So far it appears the distribution is limited but they are still trying to track down all the vendors.

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

Hm, Jamba Juice sells smoothies outside of my kid's school every single Thursday without fail, "fund raising". Except yesterday. I wonder if this has anything to do with that? Though we are in California where strawberries basically fall from the sky, it would be a shame if a local place were importing them from Egypt...
