WEDNESDAY, July 23, 2025 — Two types of tuna sold in seven states are being recalled due to listeria concerns.

The first recall affects tuna salad and ready-to-eat foods containing tuna salad from Beaverton, Oregon-based Reser's Fine Foods. The products were sold at Jewel-Osco (owned by Albertsons) stores in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa.

The second recall affects tuna salad and ready-to-eat foods containing tuna salad sold at three other stores in the Albertsons family (Albertsons, Randalls and Tom Thumb) in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.

Reser’s initiated the initial recall on July 21 because breadcrumbs used as an ingredient in their tuna salad may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

So far, there have been no reports of illness due to consumption of the tuna products, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Caused by bacteria that can spread through many foods, including deli meats and dairy products that haven't been treated to kill bacteria, listeria infection, or listeriosis, can cause serious complications such as miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women, and can be very serious in seniors and people with weakened immune systems, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms can include diarrhea, vomiting and an upset stomach.

The recalled tuna salad products feature "Sell Thru Dates" ranging from July 16 to July 19, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports.

Recalled tuna products at Jewel-Osco stores in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa include:

Recalled tuna products at Albertsons, Randalls and Tom Thumb stores in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas are:

Customers who purchased these items should dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The FDA urges people who purchased any of the recalled products to clean and sanitize all surfaces and containers that may have come into contact with the tuna as listeria can survive and spread to other foods and surfaces, causing contamination and illness.

Consumers with questions should contact Albertsons Companies' Customer Service Center at 877-723-3929.
