HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -
Ahi poke sold at multiple grocery stores and eateries on Oahu may have been contaminated with Hepatitis A, the state Health Department announced Tuesday.
The DOH said frozen raw ahi cubes imported to the state from Indonesia by Tropic Fish Hawaii recently tested positive for the disease. The raw ahi, which is being recalled, was used to prepare poke sold between April 27 to May 1 at several locations on Oahu.
The state said the poke was sold at Times Supermarkets and Shima?s locations in Aiea, Kailua, Kaneohe, Kunia, Liliha, Mililani, Waipahu, and Waimanalo.
The product was also used to prepare food served or sold by GP Hawaiian Food Catering and Maili Sunset Bar & Grill.
Tropic Fish Hawaii earlier identified Aloha Sushi at 3131 Nimitz Highway, and the ABC store at 205 Lewers St., but later issued a retraction saying Aloha Sushi did receive but did not serve or sell the product.
Likewise, the ABC store told a DOH inspector during an on-site inspection on Tuesday that the recalled product was also received but not sold.
Tropic Fish said about 2,300 pounds of the potentially tainted fish was distributed on Oahu...
