The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) on Tuesday warned that paralytic shellfish poison beyond the regulatory limit is still present in several areas in the country. According to the Shellfish Bulletin of the BFAR, at least seven provinces remain positive for the shellfish poison. “All types of shellfish and Acetes sp. or alamang gathered from [these] areas… are not safe for human consumption,” the BFAR said.
