A spike in cases of food poisoning has been linked to people consuming raw mussels from the Coromandel area.
New Zealand Food Safety is urging people to ensure they cook raw mussels thoroughly, as raw or undercooked mussels can make people sick.
Director of food regulation Paul Dansted said eating raw shellfish always carried a risk for food-borne illnesses.
“Cooking kills the marine micro organism Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which occurs naturally throughout the world,” he said.
The Oklahoma State Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry says raw milk produced by Swan Bros. Dairy, Inc. in Claremore is the subject of a statewide recall due to the confirmed detection of Campylobacter jejuni.
Anyone who has purchased or received their raw milk products between April 9 and June 22 is strongly urged to dispose of any remaining product.
The raw milk products were sold in plastic half-gallons, gallons, and pints directly from the Swan Bros. Dairy in Claremore and include raw whole milk, raw 2% milk, raw skim milk, and raw heavy cream sold in pints.

Researchers in China have reported the first identified outbreak caused by a local Campylobacter jejuni infection in Beijing.
A total of 14 patients were sick who worked at the same factory. They had shared a common meal supplied from a meal delivery company. The outbreak was not related to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
“Recently, the accelerated pace of life may dramatically increase use of meal delivery in major cities and may subsequently increase the risk of infection or food poisoning caused by foodborne pathogens,” said researchers in an article in China CDC Weekly.
Dog owners in Nairobi and Nakuru are distraught after six of their dogs died from aflatoxin poisoning in the past month.
They say their dogs started experiencing liver complications after consuming commercial dog food they had bought from supermarkets.
“We bought the same brand of dog food we have been always buying, but this time from a different supermarket. The dog food pellets consisted of maize, fish and omega-3,” Eustace, a dog owner in Loresho, said.
The dog, a pug breed, refused to eat for several days after consuming the food and subsequently developed jaundice.
“His eyes, mouth and tongue had turned yellow and he was weak. The vet came in the middle of the night to take him and later called me to say he had suffered liver damage due to aflatoxin poisoning,” Eustace said.
