Fresno, CA Health experts say the clams, mussels, scallops and oysters from this area may be contaminated with domoic acid, a dangerous toxin that's harmful to people. This warning does not apply to shellfish -- that's sold commercially.

California law only allows the selling and consumption of shellfish by state-certified harvesters.

If you would like more information about shellfish poisonings and quarantines, you can call the California Department of Public Health at ... 800-553-4133.
