UPDATE: Bumble Bee Foods Expands Tuna Recall - WMDT 47 News - Delmarva's Choice

WMDT 47 NEWS - A company is expanding a voluntarily recall some of their tuna products. Bumble Bee Foods had recalled some of its 5-once Chunk White Albacore and Chunk Light Tuna, because of loose seals cans.

The company says that the seals don't meet their standards for seal tightness. The loose seals can reportedly cause the products to be contaminated by organisms or pathogens, which could ultimately lead to illness if eaten. There haven't been any reports of illness.

The original recalled products were sold nationwide between January 17th and February 28th, of this year. However, that has now been expanded to cover products sold until March 6th.

Bumble Bee Foods SVP of Technical Services and Corporate Quality Assurance Steve Mavity said: "Due to can integrity concerns, our top priority at this time is to remove these recalled products from distribution as soon as possible. We are working closely with our sales team and with retailers to help expedite the recall. We must assure our consumers and retailers of a safe and quality product so we very much appreciate everyone's part in disposing of the products with the specific codes indicated. There have been no consumer reports of illnesses attributed to these products, but because we've identified an issue with seal tightness, we're voluntarily recalling products to ensure the highest margin of safety and quality."

Recalled products should be thrown away. Any questions can be directed to Bumble Bee Consumer Affairs, 24 hours a day, at 1-800-800-8572
