Grocery chain H-E-B has recalled more than 10,000 cans of Hill Country Fare branded chunk light tuna in oil, the third company to issue a recall due to possible contamination this month.
According to Food Safety News, the company issued the recall March 18— the same week as Bumble Bee and Chicken of the Sea— but H-E-B’s announcement was not publicized until Monday.
“This recall has been initiated because the product, produced at a co-packer, may have been undercooked due to an equipment malfunction, which was uncovered during a routine inspection,” according to the recall notice.
The H-E-B recall affects 10,752 cans of Hill Country Fare brand 5 oz. chunk light tuna in oil sold at H-E-B Texas stores in single cans between February 24 and March 16. The UPC code of the product is 0 4122065335 5 and the product lot code is 6O9FZ SCEES. The best by date on the bottom of the can is 2/9/19.
Consumers who purchased the product can return it for a full refund.
