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.

Bearded irises like about 5 hours sun a day and a drained position. This one is particularly hardy.
White flowers with a sky blue edge. Large flower for the size of the plant. Bearded iris are frost hardy and love to sunbake as well. Plant them so the rhizomes are clear of soil.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.
This is the second pot of two that have come into flower. The first pot has sold.
New season bushes shooting. All potted up and ready for you. Various sizes and prices starting from $10. The larger ones will have a small amount of fruit on this year but the small ones will need a few years before making jam (and black currant cocktails!!) Pick up from Carterton.
Elegant and strikingly beautiful instrumental poems in honour of everyday people living amidst turmoil.
