The National UAE 

ABU DHABI // Frozen Egyptian strawberries are free from Hepatitis A, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment has confirmed.

The issue came up last month when the US Food and Drug Administration reported an outbreak of Hepatitis A from Egyptian strawberries in the US.

The ministry tightened control on frozen strawberries imported from Egypt to prevent any contaminated products that pose a risk to consumers entering the country.

Authorities also collected samples of seven different brands of frozen Egyptian strawberries in UAE markets to conduct laboratory tests.
