Can Australia test for Hep A?

Hep A was last found in Semi Dried Tomatoes sourced from Turkey. It is very rare and there is no Laboratory in Australia with the equipment and resources to test for it here. Hence it will be sometimes before there is a conclusive match between suspected contaminated product and lab results.

Shocked

Could it be that Australia can't actually test for Hep A??? Huh

And then not even label the country of origin?

Yes. we can test for it, but essentially whats the issue with not testing for it.

1. There is a vaccine for Hep A
2. Compared to the other hepatitis types, Hep A is relatively actue and nowhere near as severe.

No, likelihood of liver problems increase as you age. Young children typically have a milder shorter form of the disease
