Total Tuna Recall

The Department of Public Health has issued a total tuna recall due to a possible listeria contamination in locally distributed bulk tuna. Throw out any readymade tuna salad bought between July 26 and August 10. Home Made Brand Foods of Newburyport has voluntarily pulled 5,000 pounds (that's a lot of tuna!) of “Ready-to-Eat Tuna Salad," which is so not ready to eat. Sampling discovered that Listeria monocytogenes might have contaminated the meat. The suspect salad expires August 19th and may have been sold in Stop and Shop (which has already removed the product from shelves) as well as other grocery stores and delis. (Oh, Stop and Shop... what are we going to do with you?) If you feel ill after eating tuna, seek medical attention. No one is reported to have suffered any adverse effects from the tuna thus far.
