Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Mical Seafood Inc. has recalled approximately 290,250 pounds of various tuna products, including poke, loins, ground meat, steaks, and saku, due to potential scombroid food poisoning. The company received four complaints of illnesses associated with these products, which were supplied by Truong Phu Xanh Co. Ltd. These tuna items were manufactured between April 1, 2019, and May 31, 2019, and were distributed both domestically and internationally. Consumers should not eat these products and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Scombroid food poisoning results from eating fish that has not been properly refrigerated, leading to high levels of histamine. This can cause symptoms like flushing, headache, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea, as reported by four consumers in this case.
