Bumble Bee Tuna Recall: Possibly Life-Threatening Bacteria Found

Possible contamination is the reason for this recall.

Bumble Bee announced that it is recalling the products because of "deviations that occurred in a co-pack facility not owned or operated by Bumble Bee".

According to Bumble Bee's website:

These deviations were part of the commercial sterilization process and could result in contamination by spoilage organisms or pathogens, which could lead to life-threatening illness if consumed.

The tuna products being recalled are:

Label UPC:
8660000020

Label UPC:
8660000021

Label UPC:
8660000736

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 commerce.

Consumers are advised to throw away the recalled product. Consumers looking for more information on reimbursement or whom have questions about the recall may contact Bumble Bee at (888) 820-1947 between the hours of 9am and 6pm EST seven days a week.
