Canned Tuna Recalled Nationwide Over Botulism Risk

Tri-Union Seafoods recalls multiple tuna brands, citing a manufacturing defect in pull-tab lids that could lead to contamination with Clostridium botulinum.

The recall affects canned tuna sold under the Genova, Van Camp's, Trader Joe's, and H-E-B brands at major retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Kroger.
A defect in the 'easy open' pull-tab lids may compromise the product seal, potentially causing leaks or contamination with the bacteria that causes botulism.
No illnesses have been reported, but consumers are advised not to eat the affected products, even if they appear or smell normal.
The recalled products were distributed across 27 states and Washington, D.C., with specific UPC codes and best-by dates listed on the FDA's website.
Consumers can return the recalled cans for a full refund, dispose of them, or contact Tri-Union Seafoods for a retrieval kit and replacement coupon.
