Tuna Recalled in Seven States Over Listeria Fears

Two types of tuna sold in seven states are being recalled due to listeria concerns.

The first recall affects tuna salad and ready-to-eat foods containing tuna salad from Beaverton, Oregon-based Reser’s Fine Foods. The products were sold at Jewel-Osco (owned by Albertsons) stores in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa.

The second recall affects tuna salad and ready-to-eat foods containing tuna salad sold at three other stores in the Albertsons family (Albertsons, Randalls and Tom Thumb) in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.

Reser’s initiated the initial recall on July 21 because breadcrumbs used as an ingredient in their tuna salad may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

So far, there have been no reports of illness due to consumption of the tuna products, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Caused by bacteria that can spread through many foods, including deli meats and dairy products that haven’t been treated to kill bacteria, listeria infection, or listeriosis, can be very serious in pregnant women, seniors and people with weakened immune systems, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms can include diarrhea, vomiting and an upset stomach.

The recalled tuna salad products feature “Sell Thru Dates” ranging from July 16 to July 19, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports.
