Is raw shellfish safe to eat?
Although risk is associated with eating raw shellfish, MBO places the highest priority on ensuring the safety of its products. MBO harvests oysters ONLY from certified growing areas that are monitored by the Washington State Department of Health for both safety and quality. Minterbrook’s operating facility complies with strict guidelines established by the Washington State Department of Health and the Food and Drug Administration. In addition to the mandatory testing programs implemented by these organizations, MBO also maintains a private testing program to ensure all aspects of product quality and safety.
