What is this? Some tuna loins from Sri Lanka may have too much histamine. Histamine is a natural substance that can build up in fish if it is not kept cold enough.

What's happening? These tuna loins were sold in the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, and Lithuania. They might make people sick if eaten.

Does this affect me? If you bought tuna loins from these countries, you could be at risk. Check your freezer or fridge.

What should I do? Do not eat the tuna loins. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel sick after eating fish.
