Three women suffered food poisoning after eating raw oysters imported from France, Ming Pao Daily reported Wednesday, citing the Center for Health Protection (CHP).

The trio, all 27 years old, experienced symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and fever 20-40 hours after eating oysters at Mr. & Mrs. Fox, a restaurant in Quarry Bay, Jan. 3.

They each went to hospital, but given their stable condition, did not need to be warded.

After an investigation, the CHP found that the raw oysters involved were harvested in Catch Area 50-04 in France.
