Victoria: So, here’s the scoop. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency just announced a recall for some oysters that might be contaminated with norovirus. This affects folks in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.

They’re talking about specific brands like Fanny Bay, Sunseeker, and Cloudy Bay, all under the Taylor Shellfish Canada label. Most of these oysters were harvested in early December, but a few might have been picked as early as November 27.

If you’ve got any of these oysters at home, it’s best to toss them or take them back to where you bought them. And if you start feeling sick, don’t hesitate to see a doctor.

Norovirus can hit you pretty fast, sometimes within 12 hours. You might feel like you’re going to throw up, have diarrhea, or get some nasty stomach cramps. While most people bounce back in a couple of days, some might need a hospital visit.

This info was first shared by The Canadian Press on December 21, 2024. Stay safe out there!
