USA – Campylobacter illnesses in Utah prompt Canadian Oyster Recall

Posted on December 26, 2023 by KSW | Leave a comment

Food Poison Journal

The FDA has warned about certain oysters harvested in Canada and sold in the United States because two people have become infected with Campylobacter jejuni.

On Dec. 18, the Utah Shellfish Authority notified the Food and Drug Administration of two cases of Campylobacter connected to consumption of oysters from British Columbia, Canada. The FDA has notified the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) of the illnesses, and the CFIA is investigating. The two patients consumed oysters in Utah and Wisconsin, and the FDA is coordinating with the CFIA and state authorities to determine if any additional distribution occurred.

The FDA is awaiting further information from the CFIA on the distribution of the oysters and will continue to monitor the investigation and help state authorities as needed.

The FDA is advising restaurants and food retailers not to serve or sell and to dispose of oysters and consumers not to eat oysters from Pacific Oyster Fanny Bay, harvested on Nov. 8 from harvest area BC 14- 8 with Landfile # 1402294 and Oyster Malaspina Live, harvested on Nov. 9 from harvest area BC 14-8 with Landfile # 278761 and shipped to distributors in Utah and Wisconsin.

Lebensmittelwarnung

Alert type:

Groceries

Date of first publication:

12/22/2023

Product name:

Alnatura goji berries

Product images:

Alnatura

Manufacturer (distributor):

Alnatura Production and Trading GmbH Mahatma-Gandhi-Str. 7, 64295 Darmstadt

Reason for warning:

Salmonella

Packaging Unit:

100 g

Durability:

Additional Information:

Salmonella infection manifests itself within a few days of infection with diarrhea, abdominal pain and occasionally vomiting and a slight fever. The symptoms usually go away on their own after several days. In particular, infants, small children, seniors and people with weakened immune systems can develop more severe illnesses. People who have eaten this food and develop severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical attention and report a possible salmonella infection. Seeking preventive medical treatment without symptoms does not make sense. Further information about the pathogen can be found here: http://www.kritiksschutz.de/erregersteckbriefe/salmonellen
