Dai One has issued a recall for the oysters which were harvested in early February.

If you suspect you may have food poisoning, especially if you're pregnant, elderly, or have a compromised immune system, you should contact your physician right away. Symptoms of sapovirus usually present within 48 hours of consuming the contaminated raw oysters.
