Raw Oysters

Prohibited in: United States (Certain states during summer months)
Justification: Bacterial contamination

Raw oysters are banned in several U.S. states during summer months due to the increased risk of Vibrio bacteria, which can cause severe illness. The ban aims to protect public health by restricting the consumption of raw shellfish when water temperatures rise, increasing bacterial growth.
