Bumble Bee Tuna Issues Recall

Bumble Bee Tuna lovers should check their cupboards for cans affected by recall.

San Diego based Bumble Bee Tuna issued a recall order for 5-ounce cans of chunk white albacore in water and chunk light tuna in water and vegetable oil with "best by" dates that range from Jan. 16, 2016 through Jan. 18, 2016. The tuna was sold nationwide between Jan. 17 and Feb. 28, according to the Huffington Post.

In a statement issued Wednesday the company said some of the cans may not have been sealed tightly enough, allowing pathogens into the product that can spoil the tuna and sicken consumers.

Comsumers who believe they have purchased tuna affected by the rcall can receive a refund for the price of the tuna through Bumble Bee, and are advised to discard any product included in the recall.

Locally, Bumble Bee Tuna is sold at Kmart, Food Lion, BI-LO, CVS and Walgreens.
