"The FDA is issuing this alert advising restaurants and food retailers not to serve or sell and consumers not to eat certain raw oysters harvested by Drayton Harbor Oyster Company, and Manila clams harvested by Lummi Indian Business Council distributed to at least nine states due to norovirus contamination concerns."
"The FDA warns that food containing norovirus may "look, smell and taste normal" but can cause serious illness if consumed. Common norovirus symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and stomach pain, with symptoms typically appearing within 12 to 48 hours and recovery taking up to three days."
"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, norovirus is highly contagious and can spread through direct contact with an infected person or through contaminated food, water and objects, making it particularly dangerous for immunocompromised individuals."
