Foodstuffs Own Brands Ltd is recalling all batches and all dates of its six Pams brand berry products.
New Zealand has seen a surge of cases of Hepatitis A this year and 12 of those infected (including seven hospitalised) have been linked with the consumption of frozen berries.
The recall of Pams products is a precaution due to this possible link of Hepatitis A associated with berries sourced from Serbia.

Here's what you need to know:
- All batches and all dates of Pams Mixed Berries, Two Berry Mix, Smoothie Berry Mix, and Raspberries have been recalled and removed from supermarkets.
- The Pams products are sold at New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square stores nationwide.
- Hepatitis A is a contagious virus which spreads easily. Learn more here.
- Due to the possibility that other brands of berries may be infected, New Zealand Food Safety continues to advise those eating frozen berries to wash hands before and after preparing the berries, briefly boil them before eating and ensure cooking temperatures exceed 85 degree Celsius for 1 minute.

If you have consumed any of these products and have any concerns about your health, seek medical advice.

I’m thinking about buying a Nissan Serena, as I need a van, for carrying items for my business, but also need a vehicle, for carrying children.

If you have, or have had one, could you, please,tell me what was good and bad about it.

And if you had the dash or stereo head unit language changed to English, how/where? Does the DVD player turn off, on the head unit screen but keep playing on the back screen? Kids, long drives, you know what I mean.

Any advice, suggestions, warnings?
Anyone have one with less than 100,000km for sale?
