Tuna Salad Products Recall Map Shows States With New Warning

Albertsons, Randalls and Tom Thumb stores in four states are recalling certain items containing tuna salad supplied by Reser’s Fine Foods due to fears of potential Listeria contamination.

Newsweek reached out to Albertsons via email Monday night for comment.

Why It Matters

Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium capable of causing serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in pregnant women, older adults, infants, and people with weakened immune systems. Pregnant women are about 10 times more likely to be infected, and those from Hispanic backgrounds face an even higher risk. For these individuals, exposure can result in miscarriage, stillbirth, hospitalization, or death. The FDA describes listeriosis as the third leading cause of death from food poisoning in the United States.

Numerous recalls have been initiated in 2025 due to the potential for damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens.

Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine “major” food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts.

What To Know

The FDA says in their alert, that there have been no reports of injuries or illnesses related to the recall.

“Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider,” the FDA says.

The alert also lists in a chart the product details for the impacted tuna salad items with corresponding UPC numbers, sizes and sell through dates.

Below is a map of the states impacted by the recall, which includes Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.

What People Are Saying

The FDA in part in the alert: “The FDA recommends in these cases that anyone who purchased or received any recalled products to use extra vigilance in cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces and containers that may have come in contact with these products to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Listeria monocytogenes can survive in refrigerated temperatures and can easily spread to other foods and surfaces.”

What Happens Next

People who have purchased the recalled product are urged to throw the product away or return it to the original place of purchase for a full refund, the FDA says.

Those with additional questions may contact Albertsons Companies’ Customer Service Center on weekday at 1-877-723-3929 from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. PT.

Consumers can also find updates and comprehensive advice on minimizing listeria risks at the FDA’s food safety page. Those at high risk should consider additional preventative measures, including using refrigerator thermometers, consuming ready-to-eat foods promptly, and avoiding high-risk foods such as unpasteurized cheeses and smoked seafood unless heated.
