We had a bag of those that my son ate most of couple of weeks ago. I'll be keeping an eye on him, dont want to tell him because he's a worryer and it will upset him.

Thanks, erica

I buy frozen rapberries. Haven't brought any of the Nanna's brand though. I buy ones that are produce of Chile rather than China. Never see any that are all Australian produce.

I would have thought freezing would have killed any nasties.

Just a thought...................Nannas Berry pies?      Same berries?

They could be using the same batch of berries.

Simplot used to own Nanna's but they sold Nanna's in around 2003. I can't remember who bought the company from them now

From Erica's link above

Consumers are being warned to avoid the imported product, which is stocked at major supermarkets including Coles and Woolworths.

It contains strawberries, raspberries and blackberries from China, and blueberries from Chile.

It is packed in China and distributed in Australia by Patties, based in Bairnsdale.

and also

Hepatitis A is spread when traces of faecal matter containing the virus contaminate hands, objects, water or food and is then taken in by mouth.

Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, fever and chills and yellow skin or eyes.

Anyone experiencing these symptoms should contact their GP or Nurse On Call on 1300 606 024.
