3 sick with Campylobacter in Oregon, Coos Bay Oyster recalls shucked and in-shell oysters

Lynne Terry writes that Coos Bay Oyster Co. is recalling oysters over a food poisoning outbreak that has sickened at least three people in Oregon.

The company, based in Charleston, said it is pulling all of its shucked oysters and in-shell oysters sold to retail stores and wholesalers in Oregon and California.

The shucked oysters were sold in 1/2 gallon, quart, pint and half-pint containers with sell-by dates from Jan. 15 to Feb. 17. The containers carry the Coos Bay Oyster Co. label and Coos Bay Oyster Co.are marked raw/ready-to-eat shucked oysters.

The oysters in-shell were distributed in red onion sacks, each containing five dozen oysters of various sizes. They, too, have the company’s label, with harvest dates from December 2013 to January 2014.
