Oysters, clams from certain Washington harvest areas recalled because of norovirus
On April 10 the Washington State Department of Health advised the FDA of a recall of certain shellfish because of norovirus-like illnesses associated with consumption of raw oysters.
The recall includes all species of shellstock from Gomez Shellfish LLC (WA-1724-SS), harvested on March 22 through April 9, from a portion of Hammersley Inlet, WA.
The FDA has issued an alert advising restaurants and food retailers not to serve or sell and consumers not to eat the recalled shellfish.
The FDA is awaiting further information on distribution of the raw oysters and clams harvested and will continue to monitor the investigation and provide assistance to state authorities as needed.
About norovirus infections
Food and beverages contaminated with norovirus may not look or smell bad, but it can cause severe illnesses.
Symptoms of norovirus infection may include vomiting and/or diarrhea, nausea, muscle aches, fever, and headache, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Symptoms typically start 12 to 48 hours after exposure and can last for one to three days. Most people recover without treatment, however some may need medical attention for dehydration.
People with norovirus infections can spread the infection easily to others. The virus can live on surfaces for long periods of time.
To prevent others from getting sick always wash hands carefully with soap and warm water after using the bathroom or changing diapers. Use soap and water to clean toilets or other areas that may be soiled with stool or vomit. Hard surfaces can be disinfected with 1/3 cup household bleach mixed with one gallon of water – always wear gloves when handling bleach-based cleaners.
