Foodstuffs Own Brands Ltd is recalling all batches and all dates of its six Pams brand berry products.
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.

With a weekend of wet weather, 20 slips have been reported around Wellington.

Two large slips have occurred in Karori overnight which has led to power outages and road blockages. A police spokesperson shared that Wellington City Council had been notified and contractors were on site to clear the debris.

Here's what you need to know:
- Birdwood Street is blocked and unable to be used.
- Chaytor Street has been reduced to one lane with stop/go traffic arrangements in place while workers clear the site.
- Motorists should expect delays at this time and as an alternative route, use Old Karori Rd/Whitehead Rd and Curtis Street.

Motorists should drive cautiously as there is a chance there are further slips yet to be discovered.
