FDA recalls oysters and clams over possible norovirus contamination across nine states

Federal officials announced a recall of raw oysters from Drayton Harbor Oyster Company and Manila clams from Lummi Indian Business Council sold in at least nine states due to potential norovirus contamination. Oysters were distributed to consumers in Washington, while clams were sent to restaurants and retailers in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada, New York, Oregon and Washington. The FDA warns norovirus can look and taste normal but cause illness, with symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting; high-risk individuals should avoid consumption. Harvest dates were February 13–March 3 in Drayton Harbor, Washington.
