The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced three recalls Thursday for raw oysters, insulated food and drink bottles and roasted peppers with mushrooms.
Raw Oysters Recall
The FDA says restaurants, retailers and consumers should avoid raw oysters from British Columbia, Canada because of a norovirus outbreak.
Packaged oysters include the harvest area information on their packaging.
The FDA says not to eat or sell these oysters and get rid of them right away.
Food contaminated with norovirus can look, smell and even taste normal; however, contaminated shellfish can cause illness if eaten raw, particularly in people with compromised immune systems.
Illnesses have been reported in Canada only so far, with no known cases of norovirus associated with these oysters reported in the U.S.
Symptoms of norovirus include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, fever, headache and body aches.
