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.

But don't worry; the bitter-sweet spice in its tea form will be just as pleasing to your taste buds.
Cinnamon tea is loaded with antioxidants. After a long tiring day, we all need something relaxing. The benefits of cinnamon tea before bed could form part of a great routine that facilitates winding down before sleeping because cinnamon works wonders in relaxing your muscles and removing tension from your body, and might help you drift off to sleep.
Do try it :)

Sadly we had come from the dog park and while we were able to wash the dog the colloar smelled of what she had rolled in. Inca (a shitzu) was in her service coat walking nicely at heal and was having a fun day. She was cleaner than some of the shoppers in shop. We have now started going out and about again now that Covid is not such a risk to Inca or my mother. Her tail was up and wagging before this incident and while it was happening and for a little time after her tail was between her legs and she was shaking. This is not a good look for a service dog or any dog for that matter.
When the woman would not accept that this dog had the right to be there I went and got helpful staff who were great and surporrtive.
A note to anyone who has issues with dogs in shops. Talk to the staff not the person. While people with Service dogs are understanding and helpful in explaining what the dog does and how we have to prepare for a shopping trip others may not be.
Please for your own saftey talk to staff as those who ignore the rules might be more aggressive than their dogs.
Thank you to the staff for your help with this hopefully out next trip in won't be as scary.
