Recall Release

NATURE’S TOUCH FROZEN FOODS VOLUNTARILY RECALLS NATURE’S TOUCH FROZEN MANGO BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE HEALTH RISK

Nature’s Touch Frozen Foods Inc. (“Nature’s Touch”) is voluntarily recalling the specific best before dates of products listed below due to a potential contamination with Hepatitis A.

Nature’s Touch is issuing this precautionary voluntary recall after Hepatitis A cases were reported and under investigation by the CFIA.

The specific best before dates of the below listed products were distributed in the following Canadian provinces: Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia and may have been distributed in other provinces and territories. All affected retailers have been contacted to ensure that the recalled product is removed from store shelves. All other products of Nature’s Touch (including the products listed below with other/different best before dates) are not affected and not included in this voluntary recall.

Food contaminated with Hepatitis A virus may not look or smell spoiled. Consumption of food contaminated with this virus may cause hepatitis and produce a self-limited disease that does not result in chronic infection or chronic liver disease. The illness is usually mild and starts about 15 to 50 days after the contaminated food is eaten. It generally goes away by itself in a week or two, although it can last up to 6 months in some people. It can cause inflammation of the liver, and symptoms may include fever, low appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, and yellowing in the whites of the eyes and the skin (jaundice).

Consumers who have purchased these products with the above best before dates are requested to discard it or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. The Nature’s Touch Consumer Service Team can be reached by phone at:
1-877-850-2664 or by email at: recall@naturestouch.ca.

At Nature’s Touch, our passion is finding the highest-quality frozen foods for our consumers and we are deeply committed to food safety at every production stage. This voluntary recall reflects our dedication to ensuring the safety of our consumers while enjoying our products.
