Bumble Bee Tuna is voluntarily recalling 31, 579 cases of it's chunky light tuna in water, due to possible contamination. Actually, the tuna wasn't properly sterilized at a plant in San Diego that is neither owned nor operated by Bumble Bee. Wow, well that's not good. According to the Yahoo article, that plant deviated from the sterilization process when they were canning a batch of Tuna. So there could be pathogens growing in the Tuna that can cause serious, even life threatening illnesses to humans if consumed. However, so far, no one has come forward claiming to be ill from eating any Tuna. Yet!!!
It really bothers me that Bumble Bee didn't say where the Tuna was shipped but I am assuming that if it canned here in California, then it was probably shipped all over California so I am going to check my cans. I hope I don't have any of the contaminated cans on hand. But I probably do, I love Bumble Bee Tuna and I keep a few cans in my pantry at all times. (A Tuna sandwich with lots of mayo and cheddar cheese with fat slices of tomato and a pickle spear or 2 is one of my favorite lunches or midnight snacks. LOL)
