Bumble Bee Foods is recalling more than 31,500 cases of canned tuna “out of an abundance of caution,” the company announced Wednesday.
According to Bumble Bee’s website, three UPC codes of canned Chunk Light tuna are being recalled because of “process deviations” in the commercial sterilization process that “could result in contamination by spoilage organisms or pathogens, which could lead to life-threatening illness if consumed.” No illnesses have been reported in connection with the tuna.
