New Zealand has seen a surge of cases of Hepatitis A this year and 12 of those infected (including seven hospitalised) have been linked with the consumption of frozen berries.
The recall of Pams products is a precaution due to this possible link of Hepatitis A associated with berries sourced from Serbia.
Here's what you need to know:
- All batches and all dates of Pams Mixed Berries, Two Berry Mix, Smoothie Berry Mix, and Raspberries have been recalled and removed from supermarkets.
- The Pams products are sold at New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square stores nationwide.
- Hepatitis A is a contagious virus which spreads easily. Learn more here.
- Due to the possibility that other brands of berries may be infected, New Zealand Food Safety continues to advise those eating frozen berries to wash hands before and after preparing the berries, briefly boil them before eating and ensure cooking temperatures exceed 85 degree Celsius for 1 minute.
If you have consumed any of these products and have any concerns about your health, seek medical advice.

Council regulatory manager Susan Atherton said safety was the council's priority.
"We will be issuing infringements for stationary vehicle offences on public roads and spaces, such as parking on yellow lines, footpaths, and blocking driveways. Infringements may also be issued in relation to a vehicle’s registration or warrant of fitness."
The council had previously taken an educational approach where possible - meaning it worked with offending vehicle operators to gain compliance, promote safety on the roads, and issue warning letters when necessary.
“Following feedback from the community and an increasing number of complaints, the council recognises there is now a need to start issuing infringements for offences where parking safety is compromised or is inconsiderate to other road users,” Atherton said.

Voting in Selwyn’s local elections officially opens this Friday, September 16.

Voting papers will be mailed to all enrolled voters between September 16 and 21, and the official voting period opens on Friday.
Voting in local elections is held by postal vote, and voting papers must be received by the council no later than 12pm on closing day, Saturday, October 8.
“This a really important opportunity for Selwyn residents to have a say on the district’s future – and it only comes around once every three years,” deputy electoral officer Stephen Hill said.
“We encourage people to take time to find out about the candidates in their area, then complete the voting forms and drop them into the post.”
Voting papers can be posted at any NZ Post postbox, and the council is also providing ballot boxes at the council offices, all district libraries, and many community and recreation centres.
“If residents don’t receive their voting papers in the mail, this could be because they have not enrolled, or have recently moved into the district or changed address, for example,” Hill said.
"But people can still enrol and cast a special vote.”
Special voting papers can be requested by contacting the council or calling in to the council offices or any Selwyn library.
Electoral rolls closed on August 12, with 48,302 voters registered at that date in Selwyn, up from 40,301 in 2019. Voter turnout in Selwyn at the 2019 elections was 42.3%.
Voting papers will also include candidates for the Canterbury regional council (Environment Canterbury) elections. Voting papers include instructions on how to vote.
Full information on enrolling, voting and special votes – as well as candidate profiles, ward maps and other election information – is available online at www.selwyn.govt.nz...
