A recall is issued for ASSI brand frozen oysters imported from Korea.
The Food and Drug Administration confirmed three norovirus illnesses in Washington state associated with the oysters.
The oyster meat is shucked and packaged in 3 pound bags.
Each bag is labeled ASSI Brand "Individually Quick Frozen Oyster" with a "Better if Used By" date of "2013.02.23" and a bar code number of "8 1652 20083".
The norovirus infection causes nausea vomiting and stomach cramping. Most people recover within 2 to 3 days without medical treatment. Folks with the infection are advised to drink plenty of water.
