Randalls Tuna Salad Recall Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

What’s the Problem?

On July 17, 2025, Albertsons Companies (parent of Randalls) recalled select tuna salad items from stores in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes in breadcrumbs used by Reser’s Fine Foods [1.]. The recall covered products sold in-store deli cases, ready‑to‑eat containers, sandwiches, and trays with “sell‑thru” dates from July 16–19, 2025.

Although no illnesses have been reported to date, the FDA cautioned that Listeria can result in life‑threatening infections, especially in high‑risk groups such as pregnant women, the elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals.

Although we are not aware of any lawsuits being filed against Randalls, Albertsons, or Reser’s Fine Foods, we are actively investigating potential claims involving Listeriosis, hospitalization for infection, and pregnancy‑related complications.
