Eurogroup España Frutas y Verduras S.A.U., based in Paterna, is recalling the product "ja! "Frozen Berry Mix, 750 g bag, Best Before Date: March 15, 2028, with L-26085, GTIN: 4337256908795."
Consumption of the affected product is strongly discouraged.
The reason for the precautionary recall of the affected batch is that hepatitis A viruses were detected during testing.
Hepatitis A typically manifests within 15–50 days (on average 4 weeks) after infection with the hepatitis A virus, often initially with nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain, a general feeling of illness, and occasionally a fever. This may lead to jaundice, characterized by yellowing of the skin and conjunctiva, dark urine, pale stools, and severe itching of the skin. Symptoms usually last from a few days to several weeks. Older adults and those with pre-existing liver conditions are particularly at risk of developing more severe cases of the disease.
People who have eaten this food and develop symptoms such as those mentioned above should seek medical attention and mention the suspicion of hepatitis A.
An effective and well-tolerated vaccine is available for hepatitis A, which can still effectively prevent the disease if administered promptly after exposure to the virus.
For people who have eaten this food and are not yet protected against hepatitis A (either through a hepatitis A vaccination or by having had the disease), a (post-exposure) vaccination is possible within 14 days of consumption. You should discuss this option with your doctor.

As a result, the company reacted immediately and had the affected product removed from sale without delay.
Products with different best-by dates, batch numbers, and GTINs are not affected by this precautionary measure.
Stores in the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, and Saarland are affected.
Customers can return the product to the respective store and receive a refund of the purchase price, even without presenting a receipt.
Eurogroup España S.A.U. sincerely apologizes to consumers for any inconvenience caused.
