Be careful with frozen fruit \ berries, there is a boil first health warning at the moment in Ireland.

Don't think it's on all fruit. And I thought it was on imported fruit only? and lastly, is it still in place, I thought this was from mid 2013??

Surely it would only apply to Pre-Frozen berries. If you buy them fresh and freeze that should be sound otherwise you would have to boil the fresh ones before consumption

I usually freeze a banana overnight and chop it up to make the smoothies nice and cold

That or stick whatever juice or liquid you're going to use in the freezer for an hour before you make the smoothie!

I was in Lidl yesterday and they had a sign up above the berries in the freezer telling you to boil them first so I guess its still going. It would make you wonder what the Food Safety people are up to, it's been more than a year now for sure.

That's a new alert. Only been on a few months. concerns hand picked frozen fruit. You should of course wash any fruit that has been hand picked.

I know you mentioned frozen fruit, but just in case anyone doesn't know you have to be really careful with frozen berries, there has been a boil notice on them for the last few years due to the risk of hepatitis A
"Consumers are being advised to boil any frozen berries which come from outside of Ireland for at least one minute before eating them."

Hang on there. The pomelo is a precursor of the grapefruit. The grapefruit is a cross between mandarin and pomelo.

According to molecular studies, the mandarin, the citron, the pomelo, and the papeda were the ancestors of all other citrus species.
