Canned Tuna recalled: Bumble Bee and Chicken of the Sea

[PortCityProphet]

major brands are recalling cans of tuna sold nationwide because an issue with the sterilization process means the fish could spoil or become contaminated with pathogens, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

On Wednesday, Bumble Bee Foods LLC recalled 31,579 cases of canned Chunk Light tuna, while on Thursday, Tri-Union Seafoods LLC recalled 2,745 cases, or 107,280 cans, of Chicken of the Sea brand chunk light tuna in oil and water due to the issue with the canning process.

According to press releases issued for both recalls, a problem occurred during the sterilization process, and anyone consuming the improperly packed tuna could develop life-threatening illness; though no illnesses have yet to be reported by anyone who consumed the recalled items.

Bumble Bee is recalling cans produced in February 2016 and distributed nationwide. The recalled products subject bear a can code that starts with a "T" (example: TOA2BSCAFB) and have the following "best by" dates:
