Reser’s Fine Foods recalls tuna salad products due to potential listeria contamination
A ready-to-eat food company based in Beaverton is recalling tuna salad products that may be contaminated with listeria.
Reser’s Fine Foods last week recalled a host of tuna salad products due to potential listeria contamination, according to a Monday notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Albertsons and Albertsons-owned grocery stores Randalls and Tom Thumb followed suit and are now recalling select tuna salad items.
Affected products include trays of tuna salad, tuna salad with crackers, tuna salad over lettuce, tuna salad sandwiches and tuna salad croissant sandwiches. They were sold at stores in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
Items were made with breadcrumbs that may be contaminated with listeria. No illnesses have been reported by the company.
Listeria infection, known as listeriosis, can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, as well as diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. It can cause miscarriages or premature delivery during pregnancy and can be fatal for people with weakened immune systems. It is treated with antibiotics.
Consumers should dispose of the recalled products or return them to their local store for a full refund. They should also take time to sanitize surfaces that may have come in contact with the tuna salad, to reduce risk of cross-contamination.
Those with questions can contact Albertsons customer service at 1-877-723-3929.
Reser’s Fine Foods is headquartered in Beaverton and in 2016 moved production to a plant in Hillsboro.
