What happened
A public health alert titled "Public alert for potential hepatitis A exposure" has appeared on the Alberta government's news page.
The alert states that individuals who consumed food or drink from a specified location during specified dates and times may have been exposed to hepatitis A.
Compared with the previous version of the page, the wording of the alert itself is unchanged. What changed is its position in the news list: it previously appeared ahead of the other October 2 items, and now appears after the October 3 item "Promoting Alberta's cultural industries abroad." At the same time, a July 5 item, "Increased funding for Highway 63," has dropped off the list.
The official page provides only the lead sentence of the alert. It does not name the location, and it does not list the specific dates and times.
