After dozens of reports of illnesses potentially linked to raw oysters, public health officials across Southern California are warning consumers to ask where the shellfish at their favorite seafood joint comes from.
The Orange County Health Care Agency became the latest in the region Tuesday to warn its residents about consuming raw oysters after San Diego and Los Angeles counties reported norovirus illnesses that may be linked to imported shellfish harvested and packaged in Sonora, Mexico.
Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration advised restaurants and retailers not to serve or sell oysters distributed by Sociedad Acuicola GolPac that were harvested on Dec. 18 or Dec. 27 due to potential norovirus contamination.
