The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has announced a recall of certain Pacific oysters due to a marine biotoxin which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning. The oysters were processed by B.C.-based Union Bay Seafood Ltd. and Intercity Packers Ltd. with a harvest date of July 14, 2019. They were sold in five dozen packages in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. No reports of illness have been linked to the product, however, in severe situations, paralytic shellfish poisoning can cause difficulty walking, muscle paralysis, respiratory paralysis, and even death. @ https://www.vicnews.com/news/recall-certain-pacific-oysters-may-pose-threat-of-paralytic-shellfish-poisoning/
