A frozen mango recall has been issued by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) due to a possible Hepatitis A contamination.

The notice — which was issued on July 31 — warns that multiple brands could be affected. This includes products that are commonly sold at Sobeys and Loblaws stores across Canada.

The Nature's Touch Frozen Food Inc. products are branded as President's Choice, Compliments, Nature's Touch and Irresistibles. They have been distributed in New Brunswick, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan.

If you do have any of these products at home, the health agency suggests throwing them out or returning them to the store where they were purchased.

"Food contaminated with Hepatitis A virus may not look or smell spoiled," the recall adds.

PHAC says that these products are the "likely source" of a Hepatitis A outbreak in Quebec and Nova Scotia.

"Two of the individuals who became sick reported consuming frozen mangoes before their illnesses occurred," the recall explains. "Leftover frozen mangoes were collected from the homes of ill individuals and tested positive for Hepatitis A."
