Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MSX Oyster Disease: What's Happening to Prince Edward Island Oysters?
Q: What is the outlook for PEI oysters this year if the MSX issues continue?
Supply will be tight; producers will prioritize their own oysters, and buyers may need to look for substitutes from other regions as PEI supply dwindles.
MSX Oyster Disease: What's Happening to Prince Edward Island Oysters?
Q: Should this be a consumer problem, or is it more an industry/ distributor issue?
It should be a consumer problem because people expect accountability for the food they eat, and transparency from suppliers and chefs is crucial when quality can be compromised.”
