Summary

Northern Fisheries Ltd. is recalling approximately 1,863 cases of Tuna King brand frozen tuna medallions, tuna steaks, and tuna saku products. These products were recalled after tests indicated potentially elevated levels of histamine, which can cause illness if consumed. The affected products were distributed to various locations in Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, and Rhode Island.

Risk

Elevated levels of histamine in tuna can lead to scombroid fish poisoning, which may cause symptoms such as tingling or burning in the mouth, facial swelling, rash, hives, and itchy skin, as well as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
