In case anybody is interested, the Louisiana Department of Health & Hospitals has a Molluscan Shellfish Program which monitors oyster production in the state:

I know that the state of Maine keeps a close eye on clams and mussels, and if there is a red tide or other problem, they get the word out. We also have a local clam warden in the town where we go for the summer, and he takes his job seriesly.
There is always some risk simply being alive. But I think people really should be allowed to make their own choices. And I don’t know anyone who isn’t aware that there can be some risk in eating shelfish.
If you can’t have clams and lobsters in Maine, or crabs in Maryland, or oysters in Louisiana, then it’s time to abolish the FDA. Who seem to be too busy covering up for poisons from China to do their proper job anyway.

This FDA stuff is @rap. We are born with an oyster in our mouths. What the $ell are they doing? Trying to ruin an industry? I don’t know of anyone who ever got sick eating an oyster ( I am sure they exhist). More people get sick over bad sushi I am sure!!! Being from the 1950s where I felt real freedom from gov., THIS intrusion is what really makes me sick.
