FDA Issues Urgent Recall for Clams and Oysters Over Norovirus ContaminationThe Food and Drug Administration announced a significant recall Monday affecting Manila clams and raw oysters harvested in Washington state between February 13 and March 3. The contaminated clams from Lummi Indian Business Council were distributed to restaurants and retailers across nine states including California, Florida, New York, Arizona, and others, with potential distribution to additional states. Drayton Harbor Oyster Company oysters affected by the recall were distributed in Washington state only. The FDA warned that norovirus-contaminated food may appear normal but poses serious health risks. Symptoms typically emerge within 12 to 48 hours and include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, fever, and body aches.
