If you regularly eat fish, watch your intake, as tuna steaks are subject to a product recall.
Tuna is an oily fish that is easy to cook in various ways. You can crumble it to put it in a light salad, ideal for a January detox or even in a pie for a quick weekday meal.
But like all fish, tuna is sometimes contaminated. This is why if you have recently purchased tuna steaks, be careful, as they could represent a risk to your health.

Stores throughout France are affected by this recall, so remember to check your packaging carefully before consuming tuna this week, or choose canned tuna instead.
The risks involved
If these tuna steaks are the subject of a product recall, it is because they contain high histamine levels. Histamine is a toxin dangerous to health and which we find in fish, cold meats, cheese and even alcoholic drinks.
If you consume this substance, you may experience allergic symptoms such as facial swelling, redness, headaches and even difficulty breathing in the most serious cases.
-These symptoms usually appear only 30 minutes after consumption of the product and can have significant consequences.
