Raspberries recalled in Canada because of Norovirus contamination

Brand Product Size UPC Codes
Battaglia’s Lorne Park Marketplace Raspberries 1 kg 8 88040 40010 9 Lot# 22227

As of the posting of this recall, there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of this product.

Symptoms of norovirus infection may include severe vomiting and/or diarrhea, nausea, muscle aches, fever, and headache, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Symptoms typically start 12 to 48 hours after exposure and can last for one to three days. Most people recover without treatment, however, some may need medical attention for dehydration.

Norovirus is highly contagious and infected people can spread the infection easily to others. The virus can live on surfaces for long periods of time. Droplets in the air from the vomiting of infected people can also spread the virus to people and contaminate surfaces.

To prevent others from getting sick always wash hands carefully with soap and warm water after using the bathroom, changing diapers or caring for potentially infected people.  Wash soiled clothing and bedding in hot water and detergent. Soft surfaces that cannot be laundered can be steam cleaned.
