The Food and Drug Administration announced on Thursday Tri-Union Seafoods is recalling over 100,000 Chicken of the Sea brand 5-ounce cans of chunk light tuna in oil and water.

According to the FDA, the recall is because the product may have been undercooked due to an equipment malfunction. That could result in contamination of the product and life-threatening illness if consumed.
