Kroger Frozen Triple Berry Medley Recalled for Possible Hepatitis A

The Kroger Co is recalling Private Selection Frozen Triple Berry Medley due to possible Hepatitis A contamination. Consumers should discard the product.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class I, which mandates a minimum severity score of 4. The presence of a high-risk pathogen (Hepatitis A) in a food product without reported illness typically aligns with a score of 3, but the explicit Class I designation by the FDA elevates the severity to Critical (5) per the rubric's rule that FDA Class I recalls are critical.
