US Edition58 Hospitalised by Supermarket Item with Eight Symptoms to Watch For
- A hepatitis A outbreak linked to a supermarket food item hospitalised 58 people and left 95 ill in the UK by early 2025.
- The outbreak consisted of two clusters identified by UKHSA: the first cluster, which included 19 hospitalisations, occurred from early 2021 through early 2025, while the second cluster began in January 2023 and involved 39 hospitalisations.
- Hepatitis A, a liver infection spreading through faecal contamination, causes symptoms like fatigue, nausea, jaundice, and abdominal pain and is uncommon in the UK.
- The UK Health Security Agency indicated that investigations have identified a certain food product from a specific supermarket as a likely source of transmission, based on how often it has been reported to have been consumed.
- Officials launched an investigation led by Public Health Scotland and UKHSA to uncover the outbreak's origins, noting no deaths have been linked and most patients recover in months.
