Contamination of oysters with human noroviruses is an important issue in food safety because oysters are often consumed raw. Hydrostatic pressure treatments have been revealed to be effective for inactivation of noroviruses in oysters in other countries. We therefore confirmed the effectiveness of hydrostatic pressure treatments in inactivating noroviruses in oysters using a genetic method developed in our previous studies. To increase the application of hydrostatic pressure treatments in the fishing industry, it is necessary to understand the technique, advertise it to the public, and reach an agreement regarding the commercial or legal handling of foods processed in this manner.
