Italy:Manufacturer Disputes Recall of Frozen Berries.
Over 400 people have been infected by Hepatitis A in Italy. A new brand , Nestlé Buiton, of mixed berries, "The Valley of the Gardens" batch number 3144088803, dated 24 May 2013 with a date of minimum durability May 2015, has been recalled.
The company, Parma, who produced the berries for Nestlé Buiton has asked the authorities competent repeat testing. The Companies testing shows no hepatitis A virus in their berries.
They tested the berries twice by an independent laboratory without finding the virus. They also pointed out that they have been regularly inspected by health authorities which revealed no problems. They also point out that all other "The Valley of the Gardens" products are safe.

The analysis on samples of berries were conducted by the Institute zooprofilattico of Piedmont and the results were sent to the Ministry of Health, which since June has set up a task force to better address the epidemic. The paradoxical aspect of the story is that the ministry has never published the photos of the products and demonstrates a certain anxiety in dealing with the matter. Not yet been determined what caused the contamination. Some believe it was caused by raw material, while others focus their attention on the supply chain.
The Ministry of Health of health has recommended that all frozen berries be boiled for two minutes because there may be more brands that will be recalled.
