Now Chicken of the Sea has announced a major recall. Affected are 5-ounce chunk white albacore tuna in water and 5-ounce chunk light tuna in oil.
Just like the Bumble Bee recall, the cans are not properly sealed, leading to the possibility of spoilage. No illnesses have been reported. The tuna was distributed nationwide.
