Bumble Bee Tuna recall
Bumble Bee is voluntarily recalling certain canned tuna due to possible contamination that could lead to life-threatening illness.
The San Diego-based company said deviation from a sterilization process in a facility not owned or operated by Bumble Bee could result in contamination by pathogens, and this could lead to “life-threatening illness if consumed.”
The company said there haven’t been reports of illness associated with the canned tuna yet.
The recall includes 31,579 cases that were produced in February. Bumble Bee advises consumers to throw away the recalled cans and seek reimbursement by calling (888) 820-1947.
Bumble Bee said it’s working with the co-packer and the Food and Drug Administration to remove the products from distribution.
