Description
County health officials have linked 11 confirmed and probable cases of norovirus illness to frozen oysters imported from South Korea.
Customers who ate the oysters at 100s Seafood Grill Buffet in Mission Valley between March 31 and April 1 became sick, one person went to the emergency room.
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is now linking the San Diego illnesses to quick-frozen oysters.
The FDA is cautioning all restaurants and stores that sell frozen, raw half-shell oysters to check their freezers and verify the origin of their oysters. To identify their origin, look for shellfish tag or label information. Oysters processed by JBR (KR 15 SP) in Tongyeongsi, Republic of Korea on 11/27/2023, 1/4/2024 and 2/15/2024 with lot numbers B231126, B240103 and B240214 should not be consumed. The County of San Diego is working with the California Department of Public Health to identify other potential retailers in our region.
These items may be labeled “Amazing Sea Brand.”
