Frequently asked questions
How do I find the lot number on the product?
The ground truth provided does not include specific lot number information or packaging details for the Khee Trading frozen tuna ground meat. Check the 22 lb. carton label for any printed codes, dates, or lot numbers. If you're unsure where to find this information on your product, contact Khee Trading, Inc. directly or the retailer where you purchased it for guidance on identifying affected cartons.
How worried should I be? What does this recall class mean?
This is a Class II recall, meaning the product may cause temporary or reversible health problems. Elevated histamine in fish can lead to scombroid poisoning, which causes symptoms like flushing, headache, nausea, and rash shortly after eating. Most people recover quickly without treatment, but symptoms can be uncomfortable. Contact your doctor if you have symptoms.
How do I get a refund for this recall?
Return the Khee Trading frozen tuna ground meat to the store where you bought it. Bring your receipt if you have it, though many retailers will accept returns for recalled items without one. If you purchased the product from a restaurant supplier or wholesale distributor, contact them directly about their return process. You can also reach out to Khee Trading, Inc. for refund instructions.
Is this brand safe to buy now?
The recall applies to specific 22 lb. cartons of Khee Trading frozen tuna ground meat from Vietnam due to potential elevated histamine levels. The recall does not mean all Khee Trading products are unsafe. The company should be addressing the histamine issue in affected batches. If you want to purchase this brand again, check that any product you buy is not part of the recalled lot.
Is this recall real? How do I verify it?
Yes, this recall is real. It was issued by the FDA for Khee Trading frozen tuna ground meat due to potential elevated histamine levels. You can verify it by visiting the official FDA website at fda.gov and searching their recall database for Khee Trading or frozen tuna. The FDA maintains up-to-date records of all food recalls, including this Class II recall.
