What's happening? The tuna was recalled because it may have high histamine levels. Eating it could make you sick.

Does this affect me? If you bought tuna from this stall, you might be at risk. Check if you have any left.

What should I do? Stop eating the tuna. Return it to the stall or throw it away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel sick.
