What I don't understand... this was published Sept 2. The restrictions formally ended July 2013. It's almost as if the FDA doesn't really want to restrict anything, because late information is as good as no information.

Probably wise. Wouldn't want to eat any fish or clams from the gulf of mexico either.

Not sure why the restrictions would only be for a month though. I mean apart from obvious business pressure.
