Several popular canned tuna brands have been recalled nationwide due to a potential contamination with botulism-causing bacteria. The recall affects tuna sold under various brand names, including Genova, Van Camp's, H-E-B, and Trader Joe's. The FDA advises consumers to not consume the recalled tuna and to return it to the store for a full refund.
Several brands of canned tuna sold at major retailers across the United States, including Trader Joe's, Costco, and H-E-B, have been recalled due to a potential contamination risk with Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria that causes botulism. The recall was initiated by Tri-Union Seafoods of El Segundo, California, last week, affecting specific lots of tuna sold under the Genova, Van Camp's, H-E-B, and Trader Joe's brand names.
The company identified a manufacturing defect in the lids of 'easy open' cans, which could lead to product leakage or contamination with the botulinum bacteria. The affected products are identifiable by the retail codes listed in the recall notice and possess best-by dates ranging from 2027 to 2028. In addition to the aforementioned retailers, the recalled tuna was also distributed through Harris Teeter, Publix, Kroger, Safeway, Walmart, and various independent stores across multiple states. Notably, as of the current reporting, no illnesses have been linked to this recall. The FDA urges consumers not to consume the recalled tuna, even if it appears or smells uncompromised. Consumers are advised to return the recalled product to the point of purchase for a full refund, dispose of it safely, or contact Tri-Union Seafoods directly for further instructions. Botulism, although rare, is a serious and potentially fatal illness resulting from the toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. The toxin attacks the body's nervous system, leading to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, paralysis, and in severe cases, death
