The Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios, COFEPRIS) officially lifted three sanitary bans restricting the extraction, harvest, and commercialization of bivalve mollusks—such as clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops—across specific coastal zones in the Baja California peninsula.
Following rigorous testing by the State Public Health Laboratories network and the Commission of Analytical Control and Expansion of Coverage (CCAyAC), authorities confirmed that toxin levels have dropped significantly. Specifically, concentrations of saxitoxin and toxic phytoplankton fell well below the maximum allowable limits established by national safety regulations, eliminating health risks for consumers.
The areas benefiting from this immediate economic and commercial reactivation include:
Baja California: The restriction was lifted for the production polygons belonging to Productos Mirugay and Pesquera Ergara, both situated within the San Felipe-Puertecitos harvesting zone.
Baja California Sur: The ban was officially removed for the harvesting area in Bahía de San Hipólito.
With these safety parameters verified, local fishing cooperatives and commercial distributors are now authorized to resume the extraction and sale of these seafood products immediately, bringing much-needed relief to the regional fishing economy.
