The FDA is investigating a Hepatitis A outbreak linked to organic strawberries sold at Walmart, Trader Joe's and other retailers

The FDA is looking into two brands of strawberries that are sold at top grocery stores.

The FDA is investigating a multistate outbreak of hepatitis A infections in the United States and Canada possibly linked to fresh organic strawberries.

The berries were purchased between March 5 and April 25. The FDA warned people who bought strawberries that they should dispose of them.

Mild illnesses can last weeks as well as severe illnesses that last several months. The FDA said that in rare cases, the infection can cause death. Most people recover within a few weeks.

The FDA has reported 17 illnesses and 12 hospitalizations related to the consumption of strawberries. Minnesota and North Dakota had one case each.

The FreshKampo and HEB brand strawberries were sold at a number of retailers.

If you don't know what brand you bought, or where you bought it, the strawberries should be thrown away.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Public Health Agency of Canada, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency are investigating.
