U.S. and Canadian regulators are investigating a hepatitis outbreak that may be linked to fresh organic strawberries.

In a joint weekend statement, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Public Health Agency of Canada said illnesses in Minnesota, California and Canada occurred after people consumed FreshKampo and H-E-B brand strawberries.

The potentially affected strawberries are past their shelf life, but health officials say consumers who purchased them and froze them to eat later should throw them away. Mexico-based FreshKampo, which grew the strawberries, said in a statement Sunday that it is working with regulators to determine how the problem occurred. FreshKampo said the label on the containers of potentially affected strawberries would have said “Product of Mexico” or “Distributed by Meridien Foods.”

On remote US territories, abortion hurdles mount without RoeHONOLULU (AP) — Women from the remote U.S. territories of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands will likely have to travel farther than other Americans to terminate a pregnancy if the Supreme Court overturns a precedent that established a national right to abortion in the United States. Wouldn’t that spur a massive program on preventing pregnancies? It is not that difficult, I’m not sure why people give up on it so easily. Preventing is better than remediating. Yeah. They'll likely have to. 'Cause of geography and shit. *eye roll* I would be a little surprised if they actually passed a law outlawing abortion in the NMI. It's already unconstitutional here, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't stop anyone.
