Canterbury City Council, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Public Health England are investigating reports of people falling ill with vomiting and diarrhea after eating oysters from Whitstable Oyster Company farm.According to the news, at least 100 people have fallen ill.
City council spokesman Leo Whitlock said: "The oyster harvesting business linked to the outbreak ceased harvesting, no further oysters have been distributed since illnesses have occurred, and oysters distributed before they were aware of the illnesses have been withdrawn from the market. All oysters that were distributed are now past their shelf life. There is no known further risk to consumers."
