Norovirus Contamination Recall: Clams and Oysters in Nine States
A recall has been issued for clams and raw oysters in nine states due to concerns about norovirus contamination. The clams were harvested by the Lummi Indian Business Council and distributed in several states, while the oysters were harvested by Drayton Harbor Oyster Company and distributed in Washington. The FDA advises against consuming these products as they may cause serious illness, with symptoms including diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and stomach pain. Norovirus is highly contagious and can spread through direct contact with an infected person or contaminated food, water, and objects. If experiencing symptoms, consumers should contact their healthcare provider promptly.
