Tuna products sold in Michigan recalled due to potential to cause allergic reactions

Fish may have elevated histamine levels

DETROIT – Tuna sold in Michigan and several other states has been voluntarily recalled because it could have high levels of histamine.

Mical Seafood Inc., of Cooper City, Florida, has recalled frozen, wild-caught yellowfin Tuna Loins, Tuna Poke, Tuna Steaks, Tuna Ground Meat and Tuna Saku.

High levels of histamine can cause scombroid fish poisoning. Symptoms include a tingling or burning sensation in the mouth, facial swelling, a rash, hives and itchy skin, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, symptoms usually go away in several hours without medical care. Some people could have more severe reactions, though. 

The recalled products were produced between April 1 and May 3. Click here for a full list of states where the tuna was sold.
