Jewel Osco Recall of Tuna Salad Products Due to Potential Listeria Contamination
Summary
On July 17, 2025, Jewel Osco announced a voluntary recall of select items containing tuna salad supplied by Reser’s Fine Foods due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall affects products sold in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa.
Reason for Announcement
The recall is initiated due to the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the breadcrumbs used as an ingredient in the tuna salad supplied by Reser’s Fine Foods. Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Company Announcement
Jewel Osco stores in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa are voluntarily recalling the affected products. The recall includes several products containing tuna salad, which were available for purchase between July 16, 2025, and July 19, 2025. Consumers are advised not to consume these products and to either dispose of them or return them to their local store for a full refund.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious infections, characterized by symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. While healthy individuals may only experience short-term symptoms, the infection can lead to more severe consequences, including miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
