Frozen Yellowfin Tuna Steak recall

Recalled by Northern Fisheries Ltd. · Little Compton, RI, United States

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

Products have the potential to cause scombrotoxin fish poisoning because they may have increased levels of histamine.

Some of these cause harm only with repeated exposure (lead in spices, for example), others act within hours (histamine poisoning from spoiled fish). All chemical contamination recalls.
