Recalls of 15 products containing tuna salad have been given the highest-alert warning by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The recalls relate to possible contamination with listeria monocytogenes in breadcrumbs used as an ingredient by Idaho-based company Reser's Fine Food. Albertsons, Randalls and Tom Thumb stores in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, and Jewel Osco stores in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa issued the recalls in mid-July. The FDA classified the recalls as Class I, the highest of three levels, on August 13. Why It Matters "Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems," the FDA warned in an initial recall notice. "Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women."
