Reported risk: Are oysters, clams, scallops or mussels a favourite dish of yours? Shellfish is a nutritious food choice, but like all foods it is important to store, handle and prepare shellfish properly, to prevent foodborne illness. Raw shellfish can carry bacteria, viruses and toxins that can make you seriously ill if proper care is not taken. Children, pregnant women, seniors and people with weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to foodborne illness, so they should avoid eating raw or undercooked shellfish altogether. There are approximately 4 million cases of foodborne illnesses in Canada every year. Many of these illnesses could be prevented by following proper food handling and preparation techniques.
