FDA Issues 4th Oyster Warning In 18 Days
Hand sanitizer isn't as effective as handwashing at preventing the spread of norovirus, doctors and the CDC warn.
If COVID-19 taught us anything it's that washing your hands is often the best thing to do to prevent the spread of infections, including norovirus.
The Food and Drug Administration said that consumers should avoid eating the possibly norovirus-contaminated oysters and a batch of broccoli possibly contaminated with listeria.
“The FDA is awaiting further information on the distribution of these oysters and will continue to monitor the investigation and provide assistance to state authorities as needed,” the agency said. The FDA says it will also update the safety alert if more information becomes available.
