Frozen ahi sold on Oahu contaminated with hepatitis A
HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii health officials say frozen raw tuna, or ahi cubes, sold at a dozen grocery stores and eateries on Oahu is being recalled after it tested positive for hepatitis A.
The state Department of Health said Tuesday the product distributed by Tropic Fish Hawaii LLC and imported from Indonesia was used to prepare poke sold between April 27 and May 1 at several Oahu locations.
Health officials say it can take two to six weeks for someone to notice any symptoms of hepatitis A, which include jaundice, fever, fatigue and loss of appetite.
