Luxembourg – Fine oysters n°3 from the Arcachon Bay – Norovirus

Danger: Possible presence of Norovirus

Foodborne illnesses caused by Noroviruses result in gastrointestinal disorders often accompanied by symptoms of acute gastroenteritis (sudden onset of vomiting, nausea and/or diarrhea sometimes associated with abdominal cramps, moderate fever, chills, body aches and headaches).

These symptoms appear after 10 to 50 hours after consumption.

Pregnant women should be particularly attentive to these symptoms, as well as immunocompromised people, young children and the elderly.
