Local Business Manager Addresses Concerns Over Possibly Tainted Tuna Salad

DETROIT (WWJ) -- The federal government claims that a 45-year-old Detroit business is distributing tainted tuna sandwiches.

When Scotty's Incorporated was inspected last January, manager Sandra Jackson handed over invoices from her business to officials with the Food and Drug Administration.

"On my invoice, it said tuna salad," Jackson said. "Because of the tuna salad being on the invoice, that is why I'm assuming they questioned the fish, but we don't make fish sandwiches at all."

Jackson explained that she buys her invoices in bulk and that is why tuna is still listed on them. Jackson hasn't made seafood sandwiches in about two years.

"We deal with no fish at all and haven't dealt with fish for a year and a half," Jackson said. "But because I buy in bulk I still had tuna fish on the invoice but I don't make fish."

Jackson said that a new Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point plan is being written with the help of a Wayne State University professor to try to correct the problem.
