Bumble Bee Foods has issued a voluntary recall of cans of 5-ounce Chunk White Albacore and Chunk Light Tuna because “the products do not meet the company’s standards for seal tightness,” according to the FDA.
The products were distributed for retail sale between Jan. 17-Feb. 28, 2013.
“Loose seals or seams could result in product contamination by spoilage organisms or pathogens and lead to illness if consumed. There have been no reports to date of any illness associated with these products,” said the FDA.
Bumble Bee Foods SVP of Technical Services and Corporate Quality Assurance Steve Mavity said:
“Due to can integrity concerns, our top priority at this time is to remove these recalled products from distribution as soon as possible. We are working closely with our sales team and with retailers to help expedite the recall. We must assure our consumers and retailers of a safe and quality product so we very much appreciate everyone’s part in disposing of the products with the specific codes indicated.”
“There have been no consumer reports of illnesses attributed to these products, but because we’ve identified an issue with seal tightness, we’re voluntarily recalling products to ensure the highest margin of safety and quality.”
Consumers who purchased the recalled products should throw away the cans. Consumers can contact Bumble Bee Consumer Affairs 24 hours a day at 800-800-8572.
Tri-Union Seafoods also recalled some of its Chicken of the Sea products this week for can lid seam quality concerns.
