ARCHIVED - Food alert: tinned tuna recalled on the Costa Blanca
Histamine has been detected in tins of tuna sold in the Valencia Region
The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) has issued the recall of batches of tuna in sunflower oil distributed in the Valencia Region over health concerns.
According to the agency, histamine has been detected in samples of the product manufactured by Montey and Didilo and is recommending the tuna is withdrawn from the market and that any tins that have already been purchased should not be consumed and returned to the point of sale.

Histamine is a toxin that causes scrombroid food poisoning in spoiled fish, it also causes intolerance that requires food testing.
