The warning has therefore been lifted from all the west coast areas.

Regular testing of shellfish will continue to ensure that any increases in toxin levels are detected promptly. Auckland DHB would like to thank the public for their co-operation during the event.

For more information about the safety of the shellfish, people can contact a Health Protection Officer on 09 623 4600, from 8:00am - 5:00pm, or after hours, the on-call Health Protection Officer on mobile 021 810 773.
