A national outbreak of hepatitis A linked to frozen pomegranates grown overseas has spread to Western Australia.
It follows five cases of the infection in NSW, one in the ACT and one in Queensland, the WA Health Department says.
Anyone who has purchased Creative Gourmet Frozen Pomegranate Aril from Coles is urged to throw it out or seek a refund.
Fresh pomegranate and Australian grown frozen pomegranate products remain edible.
Symptoms of the virus include fever, nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, yellowing of the whites of the eyes and skin, dark urine and pale stools.
WA Communicable Disease Control director Paul Armstrong said anyone who developed symptoms should see a doctor.
"Symptoms can take two-to-seven weeks to develop after eating contaminated food," he said.
"People can also become infected from being in contact with infected people and drinking water contaminated with the virus."
