Before you use this number
- High-dose zinc supplements can cause copper deficiency. This applies to supplements, not to food. People who regularly take high doses of zinc, or use large amounts of zinc-containing denture cream, can develop copper deficiency, because zinc inhibits copper absorption. Evidence: cu-04

Source and how to read this
Data: USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, release 2018-04 (final), FDC ID 171978. Described in USDA as Mollusks, oyster, eastern, wild, raw; we shorten these names for readability and keep the original here. Values are per 100 g of edible portion as USDA reports them; a serving may be more or less.
Portion: "6 medium" = 84 g is the primary household measure USDA records for this food. Per-100 g values let you compare foods; per-portion values are closer to what you actually eat.
% Daily Value: FDA Daily Values for adults and children 4+ (FDA, page updated 2024-03-05). "High" means ≥20% DV and "good source" 10–19% DV — FDA's labelling cut-offs (21 CFR 101.54), which apply per serving; we apply the same cut-offs to 100 g so foods can be compared. No DV exists for energy or total sugars, so those show no percentage.
