The Food and Drug Administration is advising restaurants and food retailers not to serve or sell and to dispose of, and consumers not to eat certain raw oysters and Manila clams harvested in Washington because of norovirus contamination.
The implicated oysters were harvested by Drayton Harbor Oyster Company (WA-1723-SS). The Manila clams were harvested by Lummi Indian Business Council (WA-0098-SS) harvested on Feb. 13 through March 3, 2026, from harvest area Drayton Harbor, WA, and shipped to distributors in AZ, CA, FL, GA, IL, NV, NY, OR and WA.
Shellstock, or raw, live molluscan shellfish such as oysters and clams contaminated with norovirus can cause illness if eaten, and potentially severe illness in people with compromised immune systems.
On March 4, 2026, the Washington Department of Health advised the FDA of a recall of certain shellstock, to include raw oysters and Manila clams due to a norovirus-like illness outbreak associated with raw oyster consumption.
