Warning Issued: Check Your Pantry For Faulty Canned Tuna Products

NOT MY TUNA SANDWICH!

I guess I can still have my Tuna melt, but before I open that can of tuna, I'm going to be sure it's not on the recall list.

It seems like it's becoming harder and harder to find food that is safe to eat. We have seen recall after recall on anything and everything from meats to sweets. Amid the recalls, there is a voluntary recall happening right now that affects products sold in many popular shopping locations.

DEFECTIVE  LIDS CAUSE CONCERN
