expands/1973085/

A recall of Bumble Bee and Chicken of the Sea tuna has expanded 
and includes more than 3 million 5-ounce cans that the companies 
say were improperly sealed at a California plant.

No illnesses have been reported and the manufacturing problem 
that caused the mistake has been fixed, the companies say. The 
loose seals could allow the fish to spoil and sicken consumers, 
they say. Consumers and retailers should throw out the tuna, 
some of which was on sale as recently as Wednesday, say updated 
statements from the manufacturers.

As of today, the Bumble Bee recall includes 2.4 million cans of 
tuna, shipped in 51,000 cases, up from the 22,500 cases reported 
Thursday, according to a statement from Steve Mavity, a Bumble 
Bee Foods senior vice president.

The recall also involves 659,784 cans of Chicken of the Sea tuna 
in water and oil, not just tuna in water, as earlier reported, 
says Erin Mrozek, consumer marketing manager for Chicken of the 
Sea, owned by Tri-Union Seafoods. Mrozek says the recalled tuna 
was canned at Bumble Bee's California plant. "Manufacturers will 
sometimes use third-party suppliers," she says.

The new Bumble Bee statement said the recall was related to an 
"issue on a manufacturing line, which has been corrected."

"We're voluntarily recalling products to ensure the highest 
margin of safety and quality," Mavity said.

The Bumble Bee recall includes 5-ounces cans of chunk light and 
chunk white tuna in water and oil sold from Jan. 17 until 
Wednesday, with best-by dates from Jan. 14, 2016, to Jan. 18, 
2016. Specific code numbers are listed here, in a company 
statement posted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The Chicken of the Sea recall includes 5-ounce cans of chunk 
light tuna in oil sold Jan. 23 to Wednesday, with a best-by date 
of Jan. 15, 2017; it includes chunk light tuna in water sold 
Feb. 4 to Feb. 27, with a best-by date of Jan 18, 2017. Specific 
code numbers are listed here, in a statement on the FDA website.

Both companies say consumers can call them with questions. The 
number for Chicken of the Sea is (800) 597-5898. The Bumble Bee 
number is (800) 800-8572.
