KAMLOOPS — The Hepatitis A virus has been detected in a sample of Western Family brand fresh pineapple chunks sold in ready-to-go cups.

The Centre for Disease Control says the cups were assembled on August 11th and distributed to 38 Save-On-Foods, Overwaitea Foods and PrinceSmart Foods stores in B.C. including two in Kamloops.

The locations are the Save-on-Foods at 2101 East Trans Canada Highway and 450 Lansdowne Street.

Health officials say people who have consumed the product on August 18th or later should get a dose of hepatitis A vaccine.

Consumers who have frozen the product should discard it.
