After those from the Arcachon basin, oysters from Calvados banned from marketing and consumption

The disappointments keep coming for French oyster farmers. This Friday, December 29, the Calvados prefecture announced a temporary ban on the marketing and release for consumption of shellfish “coming from the Grandcamp Maisy and Géfosse Fontenay sectors”. A decision taken following reports of “cases of collective food poisoning whose symptoms are those of acute gastroenteritis”.

“Recreational shellfish fishing is also prohibited,” the authorities specify in a press release. These measures will be lifted when the health quality of the shellfish “becomes fully satisfactory again”.

On Wednesday, the Gironde prefecture took the decision to temporarily prohibit fishing, harvesting and consumption of all shellfish from the Arcachon basin. Several cases of collective food poisoning have in fact been noted and the first reports indicate that they are linked to the consumption of oysters farmed in the Arcachon basin.
