Hong Kong health authorities are advising residents to avoid eating raw oysters due to a recent surge in norovirus-related food poisoning cases. Seven people became ill after consuming raw oysters at an O Delice! French bistro in Tsim Sha Tsui on January 31 and February 1. Investigations linked the oysters to suppliers Jeton International Food and 88 Investment Holdings Limited, who have been ordered to suspend sales. Another O Delice! location in Sha Tin was also connected to similar illnesses around the same time. Health officials noted a significant increase in food poisoning cases in January, prompting the warning.
