Rhode Island Health Department issues recall for harvested clams
What happened
The Rhode Island Department of Health has advised consumers of a recall concerning clams harvested by Warren shellfish dealers on September 22, 2026. The harvest area was closed following heavy rainfall, which the health department noted can cause stormwater runoff to make products unsafe to eat. All clams from that harvest were sent to Tony’s Seafood, which is notifying customers and removing the recalled items from its supply.
