The Washington State Department of Health notified the FDA of the recall on Wednesday.
The FDA urged restaurants and food retailers not to serve or sell the clams or oysters and for consumers not to eat the foods.

“Restaurants and retailers should also be aware that shellfish may be a source of pathogens and should control the potential for cross-contamination of food processing equipment and the food processing environment,” the alert added.
The FDA warned that food containing norovirus may “look, smell and taste normal” but can cause serious illness if eaten.
