Buckhead tuna recalled in five states over toxin levels
Original: Nearly 333 pounds of Buckhead tuna recalled across 5 states over elevated scombrotoxin levels
Nearly 333 pounds of tuna sold under the Buckhead brand is being recalled across five states after testing found elevated levels of scombrotoxin, a compound that can cause scombroid food poisoning with symptoms like flushing, headache and rapid heartbeat. The recall covers a small quantity of product, and consumers are advised to check their purchases and discard affected tuna.
Why now: Food safety recalls draw immediate attention because consumers worry about products they may have already bought and eaten.
