H-E-B recalls Hill Country Fare brand tuna

HOUSTON – H-E-B is voluntarily recalling 224 cases of Hill Country Fare brand 5-ounce Chunk Light Tuna in Oil.

H-E-B said the recall was 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. Store officials said the undercooking could result in the tuna spoiling, which could lead to life-threatening illness if eaten.
