Seafood lovers should steer clear of shellfish from Oregon and Washington state because of possible contamination with a paralyzing toxin, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned.
In an advisory, the FDA told consumers to avoid oysters and bay clams harvested from Netarts and Tillamook bays in northern Oregon since May 28, as well as shellfish harvested from areas around Willapa Bay in southern Washington since May 26.
High levels of toxins were first found in shellfish on the Oregon coast in mid-May, state health officials said in a public advisory. Officials in neighboring Washington state have also closed the state's Pacific coastline to the harvesting of shellfish, including mussels, clams, scallops and oysters.
