Khee Trading Brand is recalling 189 cartons of Frozen Tuna Ground Meat (22 lb. cartons containing two 11 lb. packs) because they may contain elevated levels of histamine. Histamine poisoning can occur when fish is not kept at the proper temperature, leading to symptoms like tingling or burning in the mouth, facial swelling, rash, hives, itchy skin, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Consumers who purchased this product should not consume it and should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Elevated levels of histamine in tuna can cause scombroid poisoning, a type of foodborne illness that occurs when fish are improperly refrigerated, allowing bacteria to convert amino acids into histamine. Symptoms typically appear within minutes to hours of consumption and can range from mild skin irritations to severe gastrointestinal distress.
Full refund for returned product.
