Warning Issued on Galveston Oysters
From Times wire services
State health officials are warning consumers not to eat oysters harvested from Galveston Bay, Texas, which have sickened about 245 people nationwide, including at least six in California.
Three people in San Francisco, two in Santa Clara County and one in San Joaquin County became ill after eating bacteria-tainted oysters, officials said.
Health authorities blame the problem on a bacterium that is killed by thorough cooking.
