Multiple Frozen Mango Packets Are Being Recalled Across Canada Due To A Hepatitis A Risk

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.

"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."
