The Canadian government has issued a recall of certain littleneck clams from Connecticut in the U.S. due to fears they may be contaminated with Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacteria.
The bacteria is known to cause severe illness in the elderly, the very young, or people with compromised or weakened immune systems. Canada issued the recall on 7 August, following a similar recall issued in Connecticut on 5 August, after a number of people there became ill. No illnesses have been reported in Canada.
