HOW CORNISH ASSURED OYSTERS ARE PRODUCED:

On arrival at our plant, each batch of oysters is thoroughly cleaned and then put into a dedicated purification tank, a separate tank for each batch. Because norovirus contamination is so prevalent in oysters, we then put each batch through a ‘super’ purification process that we have perfected to remove norovirus. This is much more intensive than the purification used for normal oysters.

We operate a positive release system; only when a batch is safe to release does it receive the Cornish Assured Oysters branding and is released for sale.

When dispatched, oysters are kept separate from all other shellfish and carefully packaged with cool packs in new polystyrene boxes to avoid any possibility of recontamination. Dispatch is by overnight courier to ensure the oysters arrive promptly and in excellent condition.

Oysters of this quality and with this level of food safety have not been available until we perfected our process, and are not available from any other source.
