Los Angeles, CA – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers, restaurants, and retailers not to eat, serve, or sell certain frozen half-shell oysters from the Republic of Korea (ROK) due to potential norovirus contamination.
According to the FDA, Sea Win (CA 353 SS) of Los Angeles has recalled frozen half-shell oysters harvested on Jan. 30 and Feb. 4, 2024, from Designated Area II in the ROK. These oysters were distributed in California and may have reached other states.
Norovirus can cause severe gastrointestinal illness, with symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. The FDA recommends that anyone experiencing symptoms after consuming these oysters contact their healthcare provider and report their illness to local health authorities.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates as needed.
