BOSTON (AP) - A Boston-based seafood supplier is recalling fresh
tuna steaks distributed in New England because of high levels of
histamine, a potentially harmful chemical that can develop
naturally in poorly stored fish.

North Coast Seafood said in a statement released late Tuesday it
was recalling the fish after three reports of illness.

Symptoms may include tingling or burning sensation in the mouth,
rash on the face and upper body, hives and itching of skin, nausea,
vomiting or diarrhea.

The recalled tuna steaks were sold at Shaw's, Star Market and Big Y Stores between June 20 and June 24. Customers may take the fish back to the store for a refund or replacement. The recall does not apply to other products.

The company did not immediately return a message for further comment Wednesday.
