Patties Foods identifies potential source of Hepatitis A contamination
Patties Foods has extended the recall of its frozen berry products to include its Nanna’s Raspberries 1 kg packs after investigations revealed a potential link to a specific source of raspberries from China.
“While there are no confirmed test results indicating a potential link to Hepatitis A, we are working proactively with Health Authorities based on the information they have presented to date,” said Patties Foods MD and CEO Steven Chaur.
“Investigations through our supply chain have identified a specific source of raspberries as a potential common link to the possible safety issues raised by health authorities.
“The specific source supplied raspberries which were packed in Nanna’s and Creative Gourmet Mixed Berries that were the subject of the Consumer Recall announced over the weekend. The source also supplied product for Nanna’s Raspberries 1 kg packs, with best before dates up until 15/09/16.
“The supplier of raspberries is no longer used by Patties Foods.”
The company says it has issued the recall in advance of further microbiological testing results.
