Louisiana restaurants fight proposed FDA oyster ban
A proposed Food and Drug Administration rule that would ban selling raw oysters in the summer has drawn fire from the Louisiana Restaurant Association. The association says the regulation is "particularly offensive" to its members, many of which offer oysters in traditional state dishes. The FDA rule would require oysters harvested between April and October to be sterilized to help prevent the spread of a lethal bacterium.
