San Diego County Health Officials Link Norovirus Cases to South Korean Oysters; FDA Issues Warning
San Diego County health officials have identified 11 confirmed and probable cases of norovirus illness linked to frozen oysters imported from South Korea. The affected individuals fell ill after consuming oysters at 100s Seafood Grill Buffet in Mission Valley, California, on March 30. One person required treatment at a hospital emergency department.
The FDA has issued a warning regarding specific lots of frozen, raw, half-shell oysters processed by JBR (KR 15 SP) in Tongyeongsi, South Korea, possibly labeled under the "Amazing Sea" brand. These oysters were distributed to retailers and restaurants in California and potentially other states.
The warning pertains to Lots B231126, B240103, and B240214, harvested on November 27, 2023, January 4, 2024, and February 15, 2024. Additionally, Lots B231126 and B240103, harvested from Designated Area No. 1 on November 26, 2023, and January 3, 2024, and Lot B240214 harvested from Designated Area No. 2 on February 14, 2024, are included.
On April 15, 2024, the Republic of Korea Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries advised JBR to voluntarily initiate a recall of the affected oysters, according to the FDA.
These incidents occur four months after San Diego County health officials linked 41 confirmed and probable cases of norovirus to raw oysters imported from a specific harvest location in Northwest Mexico.
The FDA is closely monitoring the situation and awaiting further information on the distribution of the affected oysters. The investigation is being led by San Diego County's Epidemiology Program and Department of Environmental Health and Quality, in collaboration with the California Department of Public Health.
In a separate incident, Herold’s Salads, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio, is voluntarily recalling several Seafood Deli Salads due to undeclared fish allergens. These salads were sold at 13 markets in Ohio, according to the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
As of now, there have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of the recalled products. The affected Herold’s Salads products include Neptune Salad with Best Before Dates ranging from April 1, 2024, to May 1, 2024, Shrimp and Crab Salad with a Best Before Date of April 15, 2024, Original Crab Dip with Best Before Dates from April 11, 2024, to April 18, 2024, and Cajun Crab Dip with Best Before Dates from April 12, 2024, to April 26, 2024. These products may have been repackaged in various sizes depending on the purchase location.
