The number of tuna fish cans being recalled from supermarket shelves has reached 3 million. Chicken of the Sea and Bumble Bee tuna companies has voluntarily recalled their products after a manufacturing problem left the cans improperly sealed.

Bumble Bee's number has grown from 25,000 to 51,000. Chicken of the Sea is recalling 659,784 cans of their tuna products.

Senior vice president of Bumble Bee foods Steve Mavity, released a statement saying, "We're voluntarily recalling products to ensure the highest margin of safety and quality."

There have not been any reported illnesses before or after the tuna recall was announced. The companies report that the manufacturing problem has been fixed and that new cans being distributed are in fact safe.

Chicken of the Sea and Bumble Bee did not want to take a chance on their fish making the public sick. Bad or spoiled tuna fish has led to scombroid poisoning in people. Scombroid is a toxin released by a tuna when it is not quickly frozen or properly stored.

Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, flushing, abdominal cramps, diarrhea and headache. Web MD says that the symptoms of scombroid poisoning can be counteracted if quickly treated with Benadryl and Zantac.
