Overview
- The FDA and Tri-Union Seafoods announced the expanded action on January 19, 2026 after discovering quarantined Genova yellowfin tuna tied to a 2025 recall was mistakenly distributed by a third‑party distributor.
- The issue stems from an easy‑open pull‑tab lid defect that can compromise the seal and allow contamination with Clostridium botulinum.
- Affected items include Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil 5.0 oz 4‑pack (UPC 4800073265; can codes S84N D2L best by 1/21/2028 and S84N D3L best by 1/24/2028).
- Also included is Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Sea Salt 5.0 oz (UPC 4800013275; can codes S88N or D1M best by 1/17/2028).
- Shipments reached Meijer stores in IL, IN, KY, MI, OH, and WI; Giant Foods in MD and VA; and Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions in CA, and consumers should not eat the cans, seek medical care if unwell, and contact Tri-Union at 833-374-0171 or support@thaiunionhelp.zendesk.com for refunds or retrieval kits (M–F, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. EST).
