What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Oysters harvested along the Carolina coast are reaching Asheville within about 24 hours of harvest. The industry has become popular in upscale restaurants, but concerns about foodborne illness and norovirus outbreaks require education efforts regarding safety and sustainability. Restaurants, such as Jettie Rae’s Oyster House, use temperature-reading stickers on oyster tags to ensure the product has remained cold throughout transport.
