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.

Another nine cases of hepatitis A have been detected with links to frozen berries, prompting a recall of half a dozen products from the Pams brand.
Pams – a New Zealand division of supermarket giant Foodstuffs – is recalling various frozen berry products as a precaution, over a possible link to recent cases of the contagious virus.
The recall affects all batches and date ranges of the following products:
Pams Frozen Mixed Berries 500g
Pams Frozen Two Berry Mix 1kg
Pams Frozen Two Berry Mix 750g
Pams Frozen Smoothie Berry Mix 500g
Pams Raspberries 500g
Pams Raspberries 350g
The products are being removed from New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square stores nationwide.
Arbuckle said they were encouraging people to look in their freezers to see if they have any of the recalled product – people who have these products at home should not eat them raw.
Bringing them to the boil will make them safe, or they can be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund, he said.
Arbuckle said it was important to note the situation was still evolving, “and the picture could change”.
“Our advice to all consumers in the meantime is to continue to exercise care and take extra precautions at home by heat treating frozen berries to kill the virus.”

Could be allocated to the Hutt Valley.
KMart has its one and only store in the Wellington region (outside of Porirua) in Petone and in many ways is Costco without the general food.
I have visited Kmart three times in the five years its been open and in that time have purchased some dog treats made in Australia and a couple of leather belts.
Kmart has largely second rate stuff. And I believe Costco will be no different, food excluded.
Would I be attracted to a Costco to buy groceries even if it was sited in the Hutt Valley?
The short answer is not if what the food comparisons stay true to where they are right now.
Compared with PakNSave in Upper Hutt, Costco In Auckland comes off second best in almost every food price quoted.
The big savings was in mince beef and you need to buy in bulk at Costco otherwise PaknSave came out better or near enough in every commodity quoted.
So for a membership fee of $60 (is that per person or per household?) and travelling expenses on the assumption a Costco store will not be where I live, the local PaknSave together with the big stores like Briscoes (and its endless sales) and Mitre10 will hold my sway.
