Product recall - PAMS FROZEN BERRIES

Tania from Waikanae

www.stuff.co.nz...

Another nine cases of hepatitis A have been detected with links to frozen berries, prompting a recall of half a dozen products from the Pams brand.

Pams – a New Zealand division of supermarket giant Foodstuffs – is recalling various frozen berry products as a precaution, over a possible link to recent cases of the contagious virus.

The recall affects all batches and date ranges of the following products:

Pams Frozen Mixed Berries 500g
Pams Frozen Two Berry Mix 1kg
Pams Frozen Two Berry Mix 750g
Pams Frozen Smoothie Berry Mix 500g
Pams Raspberries 500g
Pams Raspberries 350g


The products are being removed from New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square stores nationwide.

Arbuckle said they were encouraging people to look in their freezers to see if they have any of the recalled product – people who have these products at home should not eat them raw.

Bringing them to the boil will make them safe, or they can be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund, he said.

Arbuckle said it was important to note the situation was still evolving, “and the picture could change”.

“Our advice to all consumers in the meantime is to continue to exercise care and take extra precautions at home by heat treating frozen berries to kill the virus.”
