Bumble Bee Foods, LLC announced it is voluntarily recalling three specific UPC codes because processing that occurred at a third-party facility may cause life-threatening illnesses if the product is consumed.
The products involved in the recall are marked with a can code that starts with a "T" and have the following "best by" dates:
5 oz. Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna in Water: 02/10/2019, 02/16/2019, 02/17/2019, 02/18/2019, 02/22/2019, 02/23/2019, 02/25/2019
5 oz. Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna in Oil: 02/23/2019
4-pack, 5 oz. Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna in Water: 02/09/2019, 02/10/2019, 02/22/2019, 02/29/2019
There have been no reports of illness, the company says.
The recall is being initiated out of an abundance of caution due to the possible under-processing of the affected products discovered by the co-packer during its routine quality audit.
Bumble Bee is working closely with the co-packer and the FDA to expedite the removal of products from store shelves. Consumers are advised to throw away the recalled product.
