More fruit products sold at Save-On-Foods may be contaminated with hepatitis A, according to Alberta Health Services. The products, which may be unbranded, were sold in stores across Alberta and had a best before date of Aug. 19. According to Alberta Health Services, the risk of infection is considered to be low. Illness can happen within 15 to 50 days after exposure to the virus, but usually within 28 to 30 days. Hepatitis A vaccine can prevent infection if administered within 14 days after exposure, so people who ate the products after Aug. 23 should receive a dose of the vaccine.
