Tuna salad recalled in four states over listeria risk
Several stores across four states are recalling specific tuna salad products due to potential listeria contamination, Newsweek reports.
The affected items were supplied by Reser’s Fine Foods, according to a recent FDA alert. This is the second recall on the product.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause severe and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in vulnerable populations. The FDA describes listeriosis as the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the United States.
Health officials note that certain groups face higher risks, with pregnant women and those from Hispanic backgrounds.
The tuna products were sold at Albertsons, Randalls and Tom Thumb stores across Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
Consumers who purchased the affected tuna salad items are advised to either discard them or return them to the store for a full refund. The FDA has provided detailed information including UPC numbers, sizes and sell-by dates for all affected products.
No illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with these products, but health officials are taking precautionary measures due to the serious nature of listeria infections.
“Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider,” the FDA stated in their alert.
Health officials recommend extra vigilance in cleaning any surfaces or containers that may have contacted these products.
“Listeria monocytogenes can survive in refrigerated temperatures and can easily spread to other foods and surfaces,” the FDA warned.
The FDA also recommends that high-risk individuals take additional preventative measures, including using refrigerator thermometers, promptly consuming ready-to-eat foods, and avoiding high-risk foods such as unpasteurized cheeses and smoked seafood unless properly heated.
For additional information, customers can contact Albertsons Companies’ Customer Service Center at 1-877-723-3929 on weekdays from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. PT.
