Steer clear of mussels for now, public told

PORT DICKSON: The public has been advised against eating mussels and other bivalves, such as lokan and lala, harvested here for three weeks until they are certified safe to eat, said the Fisheries Department.

The department’s deputy director-general (management), Wan Aznan Abdullah, said mussels found in the waters here are unsafe for consumption as they are found to be contaminated by dangerous biotoxins.
