Tainted tuna is being blamed for a salmonella outbreak that's sickened more than 100 people in 20 states.

The CDC reports 12 people have been hospitalized, but no deaths have been reported.

Officials are linking the outbreak to yellow fin tuna sold by Cupertino-based Moon Marine USA.

“Tainted Tuna” would make a good rock band name.

FWIW, what seems to be well-distributed article says that this is frozen tuna, not canned, and found for the most part in sushi:

The product is not available for sale to individual consumers but may have been used to make sushi, sashimi, ceviche and similar dishes available in restaurants and grocery stores. Many of the people who became ill reported eating raw tuna in sushi as “spicy tuna,” the FDA said.

All the $trillions we spend on regulations and we are still getting sick? If we spend $30 trillion a year will we be safe then?

Whew...! There has never been a single cell of sushi on my lips. For once I don’t have to worry about the latest outbreak.

Yeah but the corrupt media have a tainted salad to tout, it expired on the 11th, but they are pushing it hard.

That way they can ignore the tainted tuna...

Everything was fine until Nancy Pelosi’s Pilates group started meeting next door.

Cupertino is landlocked. How can any tuna be from there?

Sources say the source was Cupertino-based Moon Marine USA

I say Jerry “Moonbean” browns fault.
