At least 1,444 cases of Hepatitis A were reported in 12 European countries in connection with a variety of mixed berry products last year, according to the final outbreak report by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)。
The first signs of the outbreak emerged in May 2013, when Germany reported seven infections in people who had recently traveled to ski resorts in northern Italy. Soon after that, Italy reported a heightened number of Hepatitis A infections at a national level and declared an outbreak.
Ultimately, 90 percent of the cases were reported in Italy. Of those 1,444 total reports, 331 were confirmed via laboratory testing in a number of countries, including France, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
