There have been 27 confirmed cases<\/a> of salmonella with five hospitalized across 12 states, including Pennsylvania, linked to a Virginia shellfish manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Little Wicomico Oystery Company of Virginia issued a voluntary recall<\/a> for raw, whole oysters on Oct. 9.<\/p>\n

Oysters sold in multiple states including Pennsylvania, have been recalled after the multistate salmonella outbreak.<\/p>\n

Salmonella is bacteria that lives in the intestines of humans and animals. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), salmonella symptoms often include diarrhea, fever, dehydration, vomiting and stomach cramps.<\/p>\n

Most people recover without treatment within a week, but children, older adults and those with weakened immune systems may require medical care or hospitalization.<\/p>\n

What oysters were recalled?<\/p>\n

Recalled oysters were harvested from Little Wicomico River and Little Wicomico River Lower in Virgina between Sept. 18 and Oct. 8.<\/p>\n

The raw oysters were then distributed to restaurants and retailers in multiple states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\"Oysters<\/p>\n

Oysters harvested by Drayton Harbor Oyster Company and Manila clams harvested by Lummi Indian Business Council have been recalled after they were potentially contaminated by norovirus<\/p>\n

The Virigina Health Department<\/a> has temporarily closed the two rivers as a precaution. The closure is in effect through at least early November.<\/p>\n

Oysters harvested from other parts of Virigina are not affected by the recall.<\/p>\n

What to do with recalled oysters<\/p>\n

If you have the recalled oysters, the CDC said that you should not consume them. Restaurants with the product have been asked to not serve them.<\/p>\n

Additionally, any item or surface that may have touched the oysters should be cleaned using hot soapy water.<\/p>\n
