Sixteen shellfish farming beds have been closed down after tests showed high levels of pollution.
Sewage bacteria, thought to be E. coli, was found in the Camel Estuary, St Austell and Falmouth Bays, said the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
The Shellfish Association of Great Britain contests the move, claiming the test results are “inconceivable”.
The FSA said it was “monitoring the situation” but the shellfish beds would remain closed.
