Tuna Recall 2016: Full List of Products Recalled From Bumble Bee Foods, LLC

Bumble Bee Foods is voluntarily recalling cans of its Chunk Light tuna after it said there were deviations from standards during a sterilization process — which could result in life-threatening illness if eaten, according to the company's announcement made on its website Thursday morning. The recall includes only three UPC codes and 31,579 cases of tuna.

"Bumble Bee Foods, LLC, announced today that it is voluntarily recalling three specific UPC codes of canned Chunk Light tuna due to process deviations that occurred in a co-pack facility not owned or operated by Bumble Bee," the company wrote in its announcement. "These deviations were part of the commercial sterilization process and could result in contamination by spoilage organisms or pathogens, which could lead to life-threatening illness if consumed. It is important to note that there have been no reports of illness associated with these products to date. No other production codes or products are affected by this recall."
