“To safeguard human lives, this WARNING is issue to advice the consuming public to refrain from gathering, selling, and eating all types of shellfishes and Acetes sp. Locally known as Alamang taken from Honda Bay to avoid possible shellfish poisoning,” the warning said.

Honda Bay is considered as principal source of the city’s shellfishes that are sold in the two public markets and barangay talipapas.

“The public is hereby informed that fish, squid, crabs, and other edible marine products not specified above are safe for human consumptions provided that these are all fresh and internal organs or entrails are removed and thoroughly washed before cooking,” the warning further said.
