Plain-English summary
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has removed all Korean certified shippers of molluscan shellfish, including oysters, clams, mussels, and scallops, from the Interstate Shellfish Shippers List (ICSSL). This action follows a comprehensive FDA evaluation that determined the Korean Shellfish Sanitation Program (KSSP) no longer meets the sanitation controls required under the National Shellfish Sanitation Program.
This regulatory action affects the importation and interstate distribution of shellfish from Korea. Consumers who have purchased these products should check with local health authorities or the FDA for specific guidance on handling or disposal, as the source text does not provide specific consumer instructions or recall lot numbers.
