| Reason for alert | Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) |
| Date warning issued | Media release: 6 December 2023 |
| Affected area | The warning extends from Papanui Point, just south of Raglan, to Tirua Point, which is just south of Marokopa. The warning also includes Kawhia and Aotea harbours. |
| Shellfish affected | Mussels, oysters, tuatua, pipi, toheroa, cockles and scallops, as well as pūpū (cat’s eyes), Cook’s turban and kina (sea urchin).
Note, cooking shellfish does not remove the toxin. Pāua, crab and crayfish may still be eaten if the gut has been completely removed prior to cooking, as toxins accumulate in the gut. If the gut is not removed its contents could contaminate the meat during the cooking process. Finfish are not affected by this warning. |

The presence of histamine was proven in the wine, even though the wine was marked as “histamine-free” on the website http://www.vinocibulka.cz, where the control sample was purchased.
The consumer was thus provided with misleading information about the composition of the food.

The product can be distributed by different points of sale in Luxembourg.
