Hepatitis A is a contagious virus that can lead to liver disease and typically occurs 15-50 days after consuming food contaminated with the virus. Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, jaundice, dark urine or pale stool. Anyone who has consumed one or more of these products or is experiencing any of the above symptoms should reach out to their health care provider or local health department.

Consumers are encouraged to discard or return them to the place of purchase if any of these are in their possession. For more information, customers can call Wawona Frozen Foods at 866-913-0667 or visit their website at www.wawona.com.
