Norovirus found in oysters: What you need to know
Oysters have been a subject of concern for seafood enthusiasts and health authorities in Helsinki and elsewhere in Finland, after around 170 people reported becoming ill after eating oysters between February and March. Nine batches of oysters have been found to contain Norovirus, with the latest discoveries coming in early March. The oysters were imported from various sources, including two from the Netherlands, six from France, and one from Ireland. The importers have since withdrawn these batches from the market.
