Quirch Foods is recalling 55 cases of frozen Yellowfin Tuna portions (1 lb size) because the fish showed signs of decomposition and high histamine levels. Consumption of decomposed fish with elevated histamines can cause scombroid fish poisoning, which leads to immediate allergic-like reactions. These products were distributed in Puerto Rico and are identified by a specific lot number and a 2022 best-by date. Consumers should not eat these tuna portions and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Histamines are produced when certain fish are not kept at the correct temperature, leading to decomposition. Eating fish with high levels of histamines can cause scombroid poisoning, which typically results in symptoms such as tingling or burning in the mouth, facial swelling, rash, hives, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Full refund upon return.
