Hold Off On Hot Sauce As Bacteria Killer: Sea Grant
Recent news reports have touted
Louisiana hot sauce as a killer of a
deadly bacteria that can contaminate
raw oysters.
But before you start pouring
Louisiana's fiery concoctions over
your raw oysters, beware, says
Joyce Taylor, N.C. Sea Grant's sea
food education agent.
Laboratory tests at Louisiana
State University Medical Center did
show that six brands of hot sauce
killed cultured Vibrio vulnificus, a
deadly bacteria, but the doctors who
performed the research say their test
results are preliminary and apply on
ly to cultured bacteria ? not oysters
or people.
Vibrio vulnificus is one of several
species occurring naturally in warm,
brackish waters along the Atlantic,
Pacific and Gulf coasts. Consump
tion of the bacteria can cause illness
or even death in certain susceptible
people, particularly those with
chronic liver disease or an impaired
immune system.
Although tests proved positive,
the doctors aren't sure how hot sauce
affect naturally occurring Vibrio oc
casionally found in oysters harvested
from estuarine shellfish beds.
However, some media reports
have already made the leap from the
On Premise ring sizing
test tube to the table, says Taylor,
who adds that such a jump could
create a health hazard.
"Eating raw oysters is risky busi
ness, and this research in no way di
minishes that risk," said said.
Until more research on hot sauces
is completed, Taylor says the only
safe oyster is a thoroughly cooked
one.
