Certain oysters have been recalled in three Canadian provinces following a suspected outbreak of norovirus in British Columbia that left dozens of people sick.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued the recall on Saturday for several lots of Fanny Bay, Sunseeker and Cloudy Bay oysters sold by Taylor Shellfish Canada ULC.

The recall covers Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario.

“The affected products are being recalled from the marketplace due to possible norovirus contamination,” the CFIA said.

According to the recall, most of the affected oysters were harvested and processed in early December, although some may have been harvested as early as Nov. 27.

The CFIA said it is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to additional products being recalled.

Canadians are being urged not to consume the recalled oysters and to discard or return them to the location where they were bought.

Those who become sick after eating the recalled oysters should seek medical attention.
