Key points
CDC, FDA, and public health officials in several states are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to raw oysters harvested by the Little Wicomico Oyster Company from the Little Wicomico River harvest area in Virginia. Recalled oysters should be past their shelf life, and oysters are not being harvested from the Little Wicomico River harvest area at this time.
Where sick people live
This map shows where the 28 people in this Salmonella outbreak lived.
This outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses, and the true number of sick people is likely much higher than the number reported. This is because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for Salmonella.
