DENVER - The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has expanded a voluntary nationwide recall of some popular brands of tuna.

Tri-Union Seafoods LLC expanded its recall of Chicken of the Sea brand tuna to include 5-ounce cans of Chunk White Tuna in Oil.

The UPC code for the new product being recalled is 0 48000 00195 5. The "Best By" date printed on the bottom of the can is 01/15/17. The product was sold between Jan. 23, 2013, and March 6, 2013.

A limited number of 5-ounce cans of Chicken of the Sea White Albacore Tuna in Water that were bought between February 4 - February 27 are among those recalled.

The seams on the lids of the cans did not meet the company's standards.

A recall was also placed for specific Bumble Bee Chuck White Albacore and Chuck Light Tuna products that were purchased between January 17 - February 28 because the products do not meet proper standards for seal tightness.

Authorities say cans that do not meet seam or seal standards could result in product contamination.

Some of the affected products are:

- Brunswick Brand 5oz Chunk Light Tuna in Water -- 48 Count Case (Case UPC 6661332803)

- Bumble Bee Brand 5oz Chunk Light Tuna in Water -- 48 Count Case (Case UPC 8660000020)
