February 23, 2023 - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a public warning for oysters in the Canadian province of British Columbia due to a norovirus outbreak, according to Food Safety News Network.
The U.S. FDA is helping Canadian officials investigate an outbreak of norovirus infections and is advising consumers to avoid eating certain oysters to avoid infection. The FDA also warned restaurants and retailers not to sell affected oysters.
Oysters contaminated with norovirus may not look, smell or taste any different from uncontaminated oysters, the FDA said.
The affected oysters were sold between January 16 and February 17. They were harvested from Deep Bay, Baines Bay subdivisions 14-8 or 13-16 in British Columbia, Canada.
