Bumble Bee Tuna recalls some 5-Ounce cans due to spoilage risk

If you are in the mood for a tuna fish sandwich, hold up.

Bumble Bee Foods LLC is recalling some of its 5-ounce canned tuna due to a spoilage risk in the cans.

The company announced Wednesday that some of the seal on the cans might just not be tight enough. Loose seals could let in pathogens and spoil the tuna, sickening any one who eats the tuna.

So far there have been no reports of any related illnesses.

The cans were distributed to retailers across the country between January 17 and February 28 and have "best by" rates that range from January 16, 2016 through January 18, 2016.

The products subject to the recall include Bumble Bee brand and Brunswick brand 5-ounce cans of chunk white albacore in water and chunk light tuna in water and vegetable oil.

If you think you may have purchased one of the recalled products contact Bumble Bee to get your money back and throw away the product. If you consumed some of the tuna and you feel ill, seek medical attention.
