If you have a can of Bumble Bee tuna fish in your pantry, don't eat it because it could make you sick.
Bumble Bee Foods, based in San Diego, California, is recalling some of its 5-ounce canned tuna because of a risk the fish could spoil.
Company officials say the cans' are loose and could let in pathogens and taint the tuna.
So far there have been no reports of any illnesses.
The cans were distributed to retailers across the country between Jan. 17 and Feb. 28 and have "best by" dates that range from Jan. 16, 2016 through Jan. 18, 2016.
The products subject to the recall include Bumble Bee brand and Brunswick brand 5-ounce cans of chunk white albacore in water and chunk light tuna in water and vegetable oil.
Consumers who think they may have purchased one of the recalled products can contact Bumble Bee to get their money back and throw away the canned tuna.
