SEREMBAN: Mussels found in waters off Port Dickson are still not fit for consumption as there are still traces of dangerous biotoxins in them, says Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias.

The state agriculture, food security and cost of living committee chairman said based on the latest lab analysis, the mussels were contaminated by the algae species from the Prorocentrum, Alexandrium and Pseudo-nitzschia genera.
