Summary

A norovirus outbreak in Los Angeles sickened over 80 attendees of the Dec. 3 Los Angeles Times "101 Best Restaurants" event after consuming raw oysters.

The affected oysters, sourced from British Columbia and linked to multiple brands, were recalled on Dec. 13.

The FDA warned against selling or serving oysters harvested from parts of British Columbia in 14 states and D.C.

Norovirus, a common foodborne illness, is linked to contaminated shellfish. Health officials are investigating, while event organizers emphasized adherence to food safety protocols.
