Mass. expands tuna salad recall

BOSTON—The state Department of Public Health is broadly expanding its recall of a ready-to-eat tuna salad that may be contaminated with listeriosis-causing bacteria.

Consumers are asked to throw out any deli-prepared tuna salad sold between July 26 to August 10, due to a possible contamination of listeria in tuna salad manufactured by Home Made Brand Foods in Newburyport.

Earlier this week Stop & Shop pulled the tuna salad from its supermarkets. No cases of listeriosis have been reported.

Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, fatigue, and sometimes cramping or diarrhea.

Listeriosis can be fatal to those with weakened immune systems, the elderly and newborns. It can also cause miscarriages.
