Norovirus Recall Targets Oysters and Clams in the Pacific Northwest

FDA warns consumers and restaurants about oysters and clams potentially contaminated with norovirus from Washington harvesters, triggering a recall of product shipped to multiple states including Oregon and Washington; affected seafood should be discarded and strict hygiene measures used to prevent cross‑contamination, as norovirus symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration) typically appear 12–48 hours after exposure. Investigators are tracing lots from Drayton Harbor Oyster Company and Lummi Indian Business Council.
