When you buy food from a store in Coos Bay, you generally know that it's going to be safe. Sometimes, however, products make it to stores and they have to be recalled. Keep your family safe by learning about this recall for Willamette Valley Fruit Co. food items.

According to the FDA's page on the fruit recall, the only store in the Coos Bay area that had these fruit products was Walmart. The products from this company were under the brand Great Value and included their sliced strawberries, mixed fruit, and antioxidant blend.

The recall is due to potential Hepatitis A contamination and it is a liver disease that you see signs of from 15 to 50 says after exposure. If you've had these products and notice any issues with your health like abdominal pain, jaundice, or fatigue then get tested by a medical professional.

These strawberries are from Mexico and you're going to want to watch out for these lot codes:
