The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced Friday that Montreal-based Nature’s Touch Frozen Food is recalling several brands of frozen mangoes because they may be contaminated with the hepatitis A virus.
The following products should not be consumed according to the CFIA:
- Nature’s Touch Frozen Mangoes (2 kg)
- Completes frozen mangoes (600kg)
- Irresistible frozen mangoes (600 kg)
- President’s Choice Frozen Mangoes (600 kg)
All products carry the label “at least until November 2022” on the packaging.
The products have been sold in Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and possibly other provinces and territories.
An infection with the hepatitis A virus usually presents with fever, malaise, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort.
The infection can also cause jaundice.
Symptoms can occur up to 50 days after ingestion.
The CFIA advises people who think they have become ill after consuming a recalled product to seek medical attention.
Recalled products must be discarded or returned to the store where they were purchased.
