Cook your cockles: No toxins in recent Dungun 'harvest' but caution advised


PETALING JAYA: The Terengganu Fisheries Department says no biotoxins have been detected from water samples taken after the recent cockle-collecting "frenzy" at Pantai Sura in Dungun.

"However, based on analysis of specimens that washed ashore in previous years, laboratory results showed faecal coliform E. coli bacteria in the cockles, higher than the permissible level," it said in a statement issued Thursday (Jan 16).
