Tri-Union Seafoods voluntarily recalls select lots of canned tuna products sold under various brands due to a packaging error that may compromise the seal's integrity and lead to contamination with Clostridium botulinum bacteria, posing a risk of botulism.
Some canned tuna brands sold at retailers such as Costco, Kroger, and Walmart are being recalled due to a packaging error that poses a risk of botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning . The U.S. Food and Drug Administration states that Tri-Union Seafoods is voluntarily recalling specific batches of canned tuna products sold under various brand names, including Genova , Van Camp’s, H-E-B , and Trader Joe’s.
The affected products were distributed to a wide range of stores, including Costco, Publix, Kroger, and Walmart, across at least 26 states and the District of Columbia. These states encompass Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin.Tri-Union Seafoods initiated the recall after their supplier informed them that the “easy open” pull tab can lid on certain products had a manufacturing defect. This defect may compromise the seal’s integrity, leading to leaks or contamination with Clostridium botulinum bacteria. This bacteria can cause botulism, a potentially life-threatening form of food poisoning. While no illnesses linked to the recalled products have been reported, anyone experiencing symptoms such as difficulty swallowing or breathing, muscle weakness, vision problems, slurred speech, vomiting or nausea, stomach pain, and diarrhea should seek immediate medical attention, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Consumers are strongly advised against using any recalled tuna cans, even if they do not appear or smell spoiled. The products can be returned to the retailer for a full refund or discarded appropriately. Consumers can also contact Tri-Union Seafoods directly to obtain a retrieval kit and a coupon for a replacement product. For any inquiries, individuals can reach out to Tri-Union Seafoods at [email protected] or 833-374-0171. The toll-free number is operational Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET
