(Washington, DC) — The FDA is recalling canned tuna products at multiple major grocery chains. That includes Walmart, Trader Joe’s, Kroger and Costco, to name a few. Tri-Union Seafoods made the recall after finding a manufacturing defect involving the “easy open” pull tab on the lids of the tuna, branded as Genova, Van Camp’s or various store brands. Without proper sealing, the company said, there’s a risk of food leaking or contamination with Clostridium botulinum, or botulism.
Customers are warned not to use them even if they don’t appear or smell spoiled. The specific products can be found on the FDA website.
People who have the recalled tuna cans can return them for a full refund or contact Tri-Union Seafoods at 833-374-0171 for a retrieval kit and coupon.
