City of Helsinki
The Helsinki Food Safety Unit has been made aware of roughly 105 people who have reported food poisoning symptoms after eating oysters in November-December 2024. These cases are linked to Dutch, French, Irish and Spanish oysters.
Cases have occurred at 19 restaurants or outlets. The oyster samples have been analysed and norovirus has been discovered in some of the samples. Norovirus has also been found in patient samples.
The persons who have had oysters have been in active contact with Helsinki’s Environmental Services. Further cases have not been reported, which we believe indicates an end to this outbreak.
The city will prepare an outbreak report for the Food Authority and the Institute of Health and Welfare. Everyone that fell ill will receive a written report of the matter. ...
