Bumble Bee and Kirkland Signature Tuna Recalled for Swollen Cans
Bumble Bee Foods is recalling Solid White Albacore Tuna in Water due to swollen cans found during labeling.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text describes a physical defect (swollen cans) found during labeling without reporting any illnesses or injuries. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary measures where harm has not been reported.
