New York and 22 other states recall tea because it is infected with hepatitis A

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently identified a link between organic strawberries and an outbreak of hepatitis A and is now recalling products linked to contaminated strawberries, reports Thriller.

Urban Remedy announced a recall of its Urban Remedy Organic Revitalizing Tea Tonic Strawberry Hibiscus Rose, sold in 12-ounce plastic bottles. The drink has the potential to be contaminated with hepatitis A. However, no tea-associated illness has yet been reported.

The company says they have a contract with Youngstown Grape Distributors to co-manufacture this product. This company may have used FreshKampo organic strawberries. And she is the source of the hepatitis outbreak, according to an FDA and CDC investigation.
