Contrary to popular belief, it is safe to eat oysters during the summer months as long as certain precautions are taken. Oyster farms in cold Northeast waters follow strict guidelines to produce good-quality shellfish, and oysters can now be bred to be sterile, eliminating concerns about changes in flavor due to reproduction. Oyster farmers regularly test the water to ensure safe levels of bacteria. It is important to buy oysters from trusted sources, avoid oysters harvested in warm waters, and consume them fresh. Cold-water oysters from New England or the Pacific Northwest have a lower risk of high bacteria levels.
