Major Tuna Recall: Botulism Risk Prompts Trader Joe’s, Costco, H-E-B Action
Tri-Union Seafoods issued a recall of several brands of canned tuna, including Genova, Van Camp’s, H-E-B, and Trader Joe’s, due to potential contamination with botulism-causing bacteria. The recall affects specific lots with 2027 and 2028 best-by dates and is linked to a manufacturing defect in the easy-open can lids. Consumers are urged to return or discard affected products, identified by retail codes listed in the recall notice, regardless of appearance or smell. While no illnesses have been reported, botulism is a serious, potentially fatal illness.
