Strawberries at three El Paso County restaurants have been connected to a multi state hepatitis A outbreak... strawberries used in margaritas at the restaurants... may have been contaminated with the virus.Everyone knows to wash commercially-purchased strawberries before eating them, but who would suspect strawberries in margaritas not having been washed.
Health officials say anyone who ate or drank strawberries at the restaurants should receive hepatitis A vaccinations.
Health officials have connected more than 100 hepatitis A cases to frozen strawberries imported from Egypt since Jan. 1.
And it's a strange world we live in where it's cheaper to import strawberries from Egypt than it is to grow them in this country.
