Chicken of the Sea White Tuna Recalled in 10 States

Consumers Should Check for UPC Codes and "best by Dates"

R.C. Johnson
Tri-Union Seafoods LLC is issuing a precautionary, voluntary recall of a limited amount of Chicken of the Sea brand 12-ounce solid white tuna in water.

Due to a production error, the product does not meet the company's standards for seal tightness.

There have been no reported illnesses. Loose seals, or seams, could result in product contamination by spoilage organisms or by pathogens and lead to illness if consumed.

Tri-Union Seafoods' trace-back measures determined distribution of the product at retail was limited to 1,105 total cases in the states of Wisconsin, Nebraska, Utah, Pennsylvania, New York, Maine, Colorado, Indiana, California and Oregon.

The Chicken of the Sea brand 12-ounce solid white tuna in water was distributed in February and May.

Consumers who purchased the product are asked to call 1-877-843-6376 for return information and a full refund. The UPC code (also known as bar code) is found on the side of the can and the best by date and product code are imprinted on the bottom of the can. No other codes of solid white tuna in water or any other Chicken of the Sea products are affected by this voluntary recall.

The President of Tri-Union Seafoods states that the company has notified all of its customers who have received the product and asked them to remove it from their shelves. He also stated that immediate actions in this recall include re-evaluating their systems to ensure this error does not happen again.
