Tuna Salad Products Recall Map Shows States With New Warning
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
Albertsons, Randalls and Tom Thumb stores in four states are recalling certain items containing tuna salad supplied by Reser's Fine Foods due to fears of potential Listeria contamination.
Newsweek reached out to Albertsons via email Monday night for comment.
Why It Matters
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium capable of causing serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in pregnant women, older adults, infants, and people with weakened immune systems. Pregnant women are about 10 times more likely to be infected, and those from Hispanic backgrounds face an even higher risk. For these individuals, exposure can result in miscarriage, stillbirth, hospitalization, or death. The FDA describes listeriosis as the third leading cause of death from food poisoning in the United States.
Numerous recalls have been initiated in 2025 due to the potential for damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens.
Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine "major" food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts.
What To Know
The FDA says in their alert, that there have been no reports of injuries or illnesses related to the recall.
"Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider," the FDA says.
The alert also lists in a chart the product details for the impacted tuna salad items with corresponding UPC numbers, sizes and sell through dates.
Below is a map of the states impacted by the recall, which includes Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
What People Are Saying
The FDA in part in the alert: "The FDA recommends in these cases that anyone who purchased or received any recalled products to use extra vigilance in cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces and containers that may have come in contact with these products to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Listeria monocytogenes can survive in refrigerated temperatures and can easily spread to other foods and surfaces."
What Happens Next
People who have purchased the recalled product are urged to throw the product away or return it to the original place of purchase for a full refund, the FDA says.
Those with additional questions may contact Albertsons Companies' Customer Service Center on weekday at 1-877-723-3929 from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. PT.
Consumers can also find updates and comprehensive advice on minimizing listeria risks at the FDA's food safety page. Those at high risk should consider additional preventative measures, including using refrigerator thermometers, consuming ready-to-eat foods promptly, and avoiding high-risk foods such as unpasteurized cheeses and smoked seafood unless heated.

A heat dome and "corn sweat" are driving this week's dangerous heat wave
A heat dome — plus the "corn sweat" phenomenon in some areas — is bringing dangerous levels of heat and humidity to much of the country east of the Rockies this week. Why it matters: Heat warnings and advisories stretch from Louisiana and the Florida panhandle up to Chicago and beyond as of Tuesday afternoon, covering nearly 85 million Americans. Driving the news: The main driver is hot, moist air being drawn up from the Atlantic and trapped by a high pressure ridge. Also contributing in some places: "Corn sweat," wherein vast amounts of growing corn and other produce give off moisture through evapotranspiration, further increasing humidity levels in and around agricultural zones. "While corn sweat is never the main reason for major heat," Axios Des Moines' Linh Ta wrote back in 2023, "it can add to it." What they're saying: " This is the time of the year when humidity contributions from corn sweat are highest — around the time of tasseling and pollination, when the flower emerges from the corn stalk," as Iowa state climatologist Justin Glisan told the Washington Post. Zoom in: Conditions could be particularly brutal in Chicago, where the local National Weather Service office is warning of heat indices over 105°F for Wednesday and Thursday. High humidity is especially dangerous, as Axios' Tina Reed and Natalie Daher recently reported, disrupting our bodies' ability to regulate temperatures. Threat level: Long-duration heat waves can be particularly serious events, with warm evenings offering less of a reprieve and extreme heat having a cumulative effect on our health. Extreme heat is the most deadly weather event in the U.S., and research has shown that human-driven climate change is making such events both more intense and more frequent. What they're saying: " Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors," the NWS Milwaukee office advises.
