Reported risk: Health Canada would like to remind Canadians that raw bivalve shellfish, such as oysters, clams, scallops, mussels and cockles, can carry bacteria, viruses and toxins that can cause foodborne illness if they are not harvested, stored, handled or prepared appropriately. Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating recommends that Canadians eat at least two servings a week of fish or shellfish. However, as with all foods, it is important to store, handle and prepare shellfish and other seafood appropriately to help prevent illness. In particular, children, pregnant women, seniors and people with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to foodborne illness and should avoid eating raw or undercooked shellfish.
