Nearly 333 Pounds of Tuna Recalled over Food Poisoning Risk
The FDA said 332.9 pounds were recalled after tests found histamine levels that can cause temporary food poisoning.
- Nearly 333 pounds of Buckhead tuna distributed across five states are under recall after testing revealed elevated levels of scombrotoxin, according to the Food and Drug Administration .
- Scombroid poisoning occurs when fish such as tuna begin to spoil as bacteria grows, potentially creating elevated levels of histamine; the New Jersey Department of Health detected this in two samples.
- Distributed in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, the 332.9 pounds of tuna were sold in refrigerated Styrofoam containers marked 'Keep Refrigerated' in 10-pound, 12-pound, 15-pound, and 3-to-5-pound cases.
- Exposure to the product 'may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,' including facial rash, hives, swelling, and abdominal cramps, per the FDA's Class II recall designation.
- Formally classified on Sept. 16 nearly eight weeks after company initiation, the recall remains ongoing; toxins are not destroyed by cooking, freezing, smoking, curing, or canning.
