Oysters and clams recalled over potential norovirus contamination

(NewsNation) — Oysters and clams harvested in Washington State have been recalled because they may be contaminated with norovirus.

Manila clams harvested by Lummi Indian Business Council “were distributed to restaurants and retailers in AZ, CA, FL, GA, IL, NV, NY, OR, and WA,” the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Monday.

The clams may have also been distributed to additional states, the agency warns.

Raw oysters harvested by Drayton Harbor Oyster Company were distributed in Washington only. Both the clams and oysters were harvested between February 13 and March 3.

Consumers, restaurants and retailers are advised to dispose of the clams and oysters included in the recall immediately.

“Shellstock, or raw, live molluscan shellfish such as oysters and clams contaminated with norovirus can cause illness if eaten, and potentially severe illness in people with compromised immune systems,” the FDA warns.
