Hi, thanks for your comment. The CDC advises that contamination of food and water can occur when an infected food handler prepares food without appropriate hand-washing hygiene. Although foodborne illnesses caused by hepatitis A are not common; water, shellfish, raw vegetables and fruit (berries), and salads are most frequently cited as potential foodborne sources.
'Fecal oral' route is common for Hep A - it means for example 1) a food worker has Hep A 2) they poop and don't wash their hands properly afterward 3) they handles the product, or something that touches the product. AND - Hep A virus is not killed by freezing it.
I think it is disgusting that we have to worry @ getting sick from our food source..all of this contamination... I worry @ getting sick all the time.Hepatitis is serious..who pays the hospital bill ??
Hep A is not from someone “ spilling their blood over fruits and berries”. You can catch it from food, water, shellfish and even touching someone such as a hand shake. Most cases in the food industry is from people not washing their hands properly after using the restroom. It can be transferred from fecal matter.
