Health authorities in B.C. and Alberta have recalled Western Family’s ready-to-go pineapple chunks due to Hepatitis A.

According to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), the cups were produced on Aug. 11 and sent to 38 Save-On-Foods stores across the province, the centre said in a news release on Friday.

The cups in B.C. and Alberta had a best-before date of August 19.

The BCCDC says other products may be affected too.

“Hepatitis A is an infection caused by a virus that affects the liver,” read part of the release from the centre.

According to Alberta Health Services, no illnesses have been reported in that province and the risk of infection is considered to be low.

A Hep A vaccine can prevent an infection if it’s given within 14 days after exposure.

According to the BCCDC, the disease can be life-threatening for the elderly or people who have chronic liver disease.

Symptoms can develop between 15 and 50 days after exposure.

Those symptoms can include yellow eyes or skin, fever, nausea, stomach ache or loss of appetite.

In B.C., you can have a free Hep A vaccine at stores including PriceSmart Foods, Save-On-Foods, Overwaitea Foods and Urban Fare.

Consumers who have frozen the product should discard it, according to Alberta Health Services.

The affected products were sold in the following stores in B.C.:
