New Zealand Food Safety is warning consumers to thoroughly cook mussels before eating
13 March 2021
The warning follows 2 people reportedly becoming sick from Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the Nelson-Tasman region.
The bacteria may cause food poisoning if they're undercooked or eaten raw.
People with low immunity, pregnant, or elderly should avoid eating raw or undercooked shellfish as the illness can be more severe.
