Wary! Oysters may contain norovirus
Experts from the Shenzhen CDC said that oysters, like other double shellfish seafood, feed by filtering large amounts of seawater with gills, and if oysters grow in polluted waters, they are easily polluted.
Norovirus attaches to the digestive system of oysters and can concentrate up to 99 times that of surrounding seawater. Therefore, it is difficult to remove norovirus from oysters through cleaning, and the purification treatment effect is not great.
Therefore, the risk of eating oysters or double-shellfish seafood that has not been thoroughly cooked is particularly high.
Such incidents are not uncommon:
In May 2018, there was an incident of "oyster poisoning" in which more than 100 people were infected with noro;
In November 2012, there were several cases of norovirus infection caused by eating infected oysters in Hong Kong, China;
……
In 2018, the Shenzhen CDC conducted random samples of oysters in the local market, and norovirus was detected in 21.9% of oysters.
The General Administration of Customs has also issued a warning to strengthen the surveillance of imported French oyster norovirus.
Keep these points in mind and eat oysters healthily
01
Dipping in juice does not kill viruses
Norovirus is acid-resistant, and if the oysters are contaminated, dipped in lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, or with alcohol, it will not prevent infection.
02
Freezing or shallow heating does not kill the virus
Norovirus is able to survive at low temperatures below freezing point.
Compared to most germs, norovirus is relatively heat-tolerant, and norovirus can still be contagious even after food is heated to 60°C and maintained for 30 minutes.
03
Those with weak immunity should not eat
The elderly, young children, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems should avoid eating raw shellfish and seafood, including oysters. Do not eat raw oysters that are only cooked (i.e. cooked).
Finally, a special reminder to everyone:
Although oysters are delicious,
But remember to cook it before eating!
In addition, to reduce risks,
Whether eating or buying oysters,
All should visit reliable licensed stores!
