Shellfish such as oysters, clams, mussels, and scallops are popular seafood items. Shellfish are also filter feeders, meaning they pump water through their systems and filter out food and other substances in the water, including toxins, bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause severe illness in humans when ingested. Learn about the hidden dangers of shellfish consumption in this webinar, where experts will discuss different types of shellfish poisonings and illnesses and review recent shellfish-associated outbreaks. | |
