Salmonella outbreak linked to Virginia oysters sickens 27 across 12 states

Original: Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Little Wicomico River Oysters: 27 Sick in 12 States, and Every Illness Began Before the Recall Window Opened

Health investigators have linked a salmonella outbreak to oysters harvested from the Little Wicomico River in Virginia. Twenty-seven people across 12 states have fallen ill, and officials note that every reported illness began before the recall window opened, raising questions about how widely contaminated oysters were distributed and how quickly the recall responded to the risk.

Why now: The gap between the onset of illnesses and the recall window suggests contaminated oysters may have reached consumers unnoticed, prompting concern over seafood safety oversight.
