FreshKampo No Longer Shipping Fresh Organic Strawberries Potentially Linked to FDA Investigation
May 29, 2022 – FreshKampo takes food safety seriously, and the health and well-being of consumers are our priorities. Our hearts go out to all those affected by the Hepatitis A outbreak investigated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
The FreshKampo fresh organic strawberries potentially affected are out-of-season and have not been shipped into the marketplace since May 20. We are working with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to gather information that will aid in our internal investigation to trace the product and determine where the problem may have occurred.
Consumers should follow the FDA’s recommendations - anyone who purchased the FreshKampo fresh organic strawberries between March 5 and April 25, 2022, froze them, and still has them in their possession should not consume them. During this timeframe, the label on the plastic clamshell of potentially affected fresh organic strawberries would have said “Product of Mexico” and “Distributed by Meridian Fruits.”
Finally, FreshKampo wants consumers to know that it will continue to work with health officials and supply chain partners to determine where a problem may have occurred along the supply chain and take necessary measures to prevent it from happening again.
Consumers with questions may call our customer service desk at 559-710-1008, M-F 8 am – 5 pm Pacific Time. We will return messages as we receive them on Memorial Day.
