An outbreak of hepatitis A across the United States and Canada that is potentially linked to two brands of organic strawberries is being investigated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The strawberries were branded as FreshKampo and HEB, and purchased between March 5 and April 25 at retailers, including Aldi, HEB, Kroger, Safeway, Sprouts Farmers Market, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Weis Market, and WinCo Foods, the FDA said.
