AQUABEST SEAFOOD LLC has recalled approximately 21,780 units (nearly 22,000 pounds) of Sea Mart brand frozen Yellowfin Tuna products due to potentially elevated levels of histamines. This recall was initiated after a supplier, TPX, identified a link to a recent scombrotoxin poisoning outbreak in the United States. The affected products include 8-ounce steaks, 5-8 pound loins, and 10-12 ounce saku blocks, all sold in larger bulk packages. Consumers should check their freezers for the specific lot numbers and dates to ensure they do not consume these products.
Elevated histamines in fish can cause scombrotoxin poisoning, which leads to symptoms like tingling or burning in the mouth, facial swelling, rash, hives, itchy skin, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The manufacturer is recalling these items because they are linked to an active scombrotoxin poisoning outbreak.
