In the Netherlands, blueberries have caused hepatitis A infection in at least 12 people. However, there is a risk of illness in many others. According to the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), two patients were hospitalized. The ages of the patients range from 25 to 77 years.
RIVM representative Elko Frans indicated that hepatitis A is transmitted from person to person through feces. It is likely that the berry picker did not wash their hands after visiting the restroom, or watered the berries with contaminated water. Albert Heijn supermarkets sold frozen berries that were found to contain the virus. The company refunded customers who returned the product even with an opened package.
