Shellfish from the Arcachon Basin and the Banc d'Arguin - Warning to not consume due to Norovirus

10 months ago source gironde.gouv.fr

Outbreak

France

Several cases of food poisoning have been linked to the consumption of shellfish from the Arcachon Basin and Banc d'Arguin. Symptoms consistent with norovirus have been identified in a number of individuals, with oysters from the regions implicated in the outbreak.

In-depth investigation into the incident reveals that tests carried out on oysters from Arcachon Bay confirmed the presence of the norovirus. Fortunately, all reported cases have been mild and characterized by symptoms of acute gastroenteritis, with no serious cases reported as of yet.

In response to the situation, Gironde Prefect, Étienne Guyot, has announced a temporary ban on the fishing, harvesting and marketing of all shellfish from the Arcachon Basin and Banc d'Arguin. The decision, made in consultation with representatives from professional fishing and shellfish farming organizations, was based on the considered opinions of health authorities and the unanimous consensus of the departmental health commission.

All batches of shellfish from the affected areas are to be pulled from sale immediately, and residents are being advised not to consume any shellfish that may have originated from these regions. Recreational fishing of shellfish has also been temporarily halted.

The measures are in place to ensure the health and safety of the public and will be lifted once the health quality of the shellfish from these areas meets satisfactory standards.

In case you experience Norovirus symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
