Official recall record

Surasang Frozen Oysters; pack size: 226g

What the authority reported

Norovirus is one of the most common causes of gastroenteritis (stomach bugs) in Ireland. It is also known as the winter vomiting bug. Infection with norovirus can cause nausea (often sudden onset), vomiting (often projectile) and watery diarrhoea. Symptoms usually begin around 12 to 48 hours after becoming infected, and last 1 or 2 days. Most people make a full recovery, however some people (usually the very young or older adults) may become very dehydrated and require hospital treatment. Norovirus is very contagious and can spread easily from person to person. Good hygiene is important in preventing others from becoming infected. This includes thorough hand washing. Food preparation should also be avoided until 3 days after symptoms have gone.

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
