Subject: Health warning concerning the presence of Hepatitis A in strawberries from Morocco
The European Union’s Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed has triggered an alert due to Hepatitis A being detected in strawberries imported to Spain from Morocco. The strawberries could have become contaminated after being irrigated with sewage, or contaminated by humans during the processing stage.
In view of the outrage expressed by the Spanish food production sector and, first and foremost, the concern expressed by consumers:
What measures will the European Commission take in order to guarantee that fresh produce imported from Morocco is safe for consumption?
