The FSA is investigating an outbreak of norovirus with local authorities and the UKHSA (formerly Public Health England) with a link to oysters from areas in Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole, and Cornwall. Norovirus is not a notifiable disease in England.
In the other incident, nearly 900 cases of Salmonella have been reported since April 2014 linked to frozen mice used to feed animals including snakes and birds.
At least 139 Salmonella Enteritidis infections have been recorded this year with children particularly affected. Mitigation measures have included retailers providing point-of-sale safety warnings beginning in September but cases continue to be recorded.
