PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bactericidal agent derived from a natural product having a high bactericidal level. SOLUTION: A primary firing step of calcining oyster shells under predetermined conditions to obtain a primary calcined product; a step of cooling the primary calcined product; and a secondary firing of the cooled primary calcined product under predetermined conditions. A calcined oyster shell powder having a calcium oxide content of 80% by mass or more based on the total mass of the secondary calcined product, which is obtained through a secondary calcining step of obtaining the product.
