SEAFOODNEWS.COM [SCOM] — October 20, 2014 — Bumble Bee Foods has voluntarily recalled of their 4/5oz Albacore pouches sold between March 3, 2014 and September 11, 2014 to BJ's Wholesale club.
The recall is due to defects in the pouch seals, which could result in product contamination by spoilage organisms or pathogens, which could lead to illness if consumed. In early October, Wegman's recalled Bumble Bee's 2.5-ounce packages of premium albacore in water, with UPC 8660024011. The containers were stamped with “best by” dates of March 2017 to September 2017. Wegman's said the recall was prompted after defects were found in the pouch seals, which could lead to contamination through spoilage organisms or pathogens.
BJ's said customers have been told that can get a full refund of their purchases you by visiting the Member Services Desk at the BJ's store where the item was purchased.
"If you purchased the recalled product listed above, please discontinue use and discard the remaining product(s); please do not return the product to the Club," BJ's said in a press release.
