I don't buyy frozen berries, but hundreds of people do. In this warm weather smoothies with berries are a favourite.
Here is the warning. Hope the link works.

I wonder how long testing takes?.... usually a long time.

Abbott government to move on country of origin food labels after hepatitis A outbreak linked to imported frozen berries
The Abbott government says it will act on country of origin labelling in the wake of the hepatitis A outbreak from frozen berries imported from China.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has asked Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane and Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce to prepare a submission for cabinet by the end of March.
"For too long, people have been talking about country of origin labelling. And nothing much has changed," Mr Abbott said

Quoted from the SMH article given above.
The announcement comes a little over a week after Mr Abbott appeared to reject a complete overhaul of food labelling and testing.

Update - C.G. Berries are back on the market and not from China.
New packaging as well, no box but a ziplock pouch.
I have just stocked the new Creative Gourmet frozen berries into our store.
They are from Turkey, Chile and Guatemala.
Pity Australian produce isn't used but I'm guessing it's all sold to the fresh market.

Thanks Kopes. But I'm sticking with buying local fresh produce
and freezing them myself
