What happened

Bumble Bee Foods is recalling certain cans of Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water sold under the Bumble Bee and Kirkland Signature brand names because some cans were found to be swollen during production, which can indicate bacterial contamination or spoilage. Additional cans produced on the same day are being recalled as a precaution, even though they don't show visible swelling.

Who is at risk

Anyone who consumed or plans to consume the recalled tuna could be at risk, as swollen cans may contain harmful bacteria.

What to do

Check your pantry for the recalled products using the UPC codes listed (Bumble Bee UPC 86600-23061 or Kirkland Signature UPC 9661933523). If you have any of these products, do not eat them—return them to the store for a refund or discard them. The recall only affects products distributed to California, Maryland, and New Jersey.
