The agency says the recall affects certain Fanny Bay, Sunseeker and Cloudy Bay oysters from the Taylor Shellfish Canada brand.
The memo notes that most of the affected oysters were harvested and processed in early December, although some may have been harvested as early as November 27.
The agency says consumers who purchased oysters should throw them out or return them to the point of purchase, and those with symptoms should seek medical attention. Symptoms of norovirus, which can appear 12 hours after exposure, include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea and stomach cramps.
The agency says that while most people who contract the virus recover within a few days, some severe cases may require hospitalization and intravenous injections.
