Mexico is collaborating with US health authorities to investigate a Hepatitis A outbreak in berries in three west coast states, despite no scientific evidence linking the outbreak to state production units. To ensure consumer safety, Mexico's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (Sader) and the National Agrifood Health, Safety and Quality Service (Senasica) are urging producers to implement Pollution Risk Reduction Systems.
