Rabat – The National Office for Food Safety in Morocco (ONSSA) confirmed on Friday that Moroccan strawberries exported to Europe have been cleared of Hepatitis A virus contamination, following an extensive investigation.
The statement from the office comes after the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) was triggered in Europe and raised concerns over the safety of Moroccan strawberries, alleging the presence of the Hepatitis A virus.
In the wake of the alert, ONSSA carried out extensive analysis. The results showed that strawberries tested negative for both Hepatitis A and Norovirus.
