The FDA prohibited the distribution and sale of chelonians (turtles and tortoises) with shells 4 inches in length or less in 1970 after a quarter million infants and small children were diagnosed with having turtle-associated salmonellosis. The agency believed that turtles with shells larger than 4 inches do not pose the same threat since youngsters would not likely try to fit them into their mouths. The FDA asks that anyone who has knowledge of sales or distribution of turtles less than 4 inches in length to report the location and circumstances of the sales to the nearest FDA office.
