Unfortunately, it's impossible to identify before consumption without testing, as contaminated food sources do not typically look, smell, or taste any different. Beyond consuming contaminated foods, you can also contract norovirus if you touch a contaminated surface and then touch something else that you put in your mouth if you do not properly wash your hands in between.
What Should Consumers Do?
Consumers are advised not to purchase the aforementioned brands and harvest code combinations or to throw them out immediately if you've already done so, while restaurants and retailers are advised to immediately cease selling and serving them and to either dispose of them directly or contact their distributors to arrange for destruction.
If you believe you've consumed oysters from the affected lot and are experiencing symptoms of a norovirus infection, contact your primary care physician to report symptoms and receive care.
