People who ate frozen berries in hepatitis A scare banned from donating blood | Society | The Guardian
Moral of the story, do not eat things from China.
People who ate berries linked to the hepatitis A scare have been banned from donating blood for two months.
Anyone who has already donated after eating the berries has been asked to contact the Red Cross Blood Service so it can identify any risks posed to those receiving blood.
While hepatitis A typically poses a very low risk to the blood supply, Red Cross Blood Service spokesman Shaun Inguanzo said the situation was being closely monitored.
He said hepatitis A was spread almost exclusively by ingesting faecal-contaminated food.
