Popular tuna brand recalled due to death

An official list was released of tuna cans that were recalled due to the possibility of death if consumed.

Bumble Bee ranks as one of the most popular tuna brands. But in March, the food company announced a voluntary recall of its popular product –  Chunk Light Tuna – because of a serious health scare.

Bumble Bee admitted a packing deviation that could result in contamination by spoilage or pathogens and, if consumed, could lead to life-threatening illnesses (3 specific UPC codes 8660000020, 8660000021, 8660000736). 

Although no illness from the canned tuna were reported, Bumble Bee wanted to be on the safe side.

The recall is no longer active, but it’s best to be safe and check if  any cans of tuna you have in your pantry could be effected.

Check for the can code which starts with a “T” (example: TOA2SBCABF) and have the following “best by” dates:
