What happened

SM Fish Corp. is recalling Ossie's Lite Tuna (7 oz. plastic containers) because the FDA found bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes in the processing facility. The tuna may be contaminated, though no illnesses have been reported yet.

Who is at risk

Everyone should be concerned, but pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems face the highest risk of serious illness from Listeria.

What to do

If you bought Ossie's Lite Tuna with UPC 73988570551 in New York or New Jersey, do not eat it—throw it away or return it to the store. Check your refrigerator and freezer for this product, as Listeria can survive in cold temperatures.
