Canned tuna at Trader Joe’s, Walmart and Costco recalled over botulism risk

Tri-Union Seafoods has issued a voluntary recall for select canned tuna products sold at Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Costco, and other retailers due to a pull-tab defect that could lead to botulism.

The recall affects Genova, Van Camp’s, Trader Joe’s, and H-E-B brand tuna, with compromised seals that may cause leakage or contamination.

No illnesses have been reported, but consumers are advised not to eat the affected products and can return them for a refund, NBC News has reported.

The recall impacts multiple states, and a full list of affected cans is available.
