Cans of tuna recalled for botulism risk mistakenly shipped to Meijer stores in Illinois
Editor’s Note: The video in the above player is from a previous report.
If you purchased canned tuna recently, you’ll want to double check what is in your cabinet.
El Segundo, California based Tri-Union Seafoods announced in an FDA recall issued Tuesday that a third-party distributor “inadvertently released quarantined product that was associated to a February 2025 recall” to grocery store locations in nine states.
The affected products are two kinds of Genova Yellowfin Tuna cans.
The cans of recalled tuna were shipped to Meijer locations in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Wisconsin, according to the recall. Giant Foods locations in Maryland and Virgina and Safeway, Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions stores in California also received the products.
The recall was first issued in February 2025 because the “easy open” pull tab on the cans had a manufacturing defect that could compromise the product seal, causing it to leak or be contaminated with the toxin that causes botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning, according to the recall.
Here’s a closer look at the recalled products:
- Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil 5.0 oz 4 Pack: UPC no. 4800073265, Can Code S84N D2L with Best if Used by Date 1/21/2028 and Can Code S84N D3L with Best if Used by Date 1/24/2028
- Genova Yellowfin Tuna in in Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Sea Salt 5.0 oz: UPC no. 4800013275, Can Code S88N D1M with a Best if Used By Date 1/17/2028
Anyone with the product should not use it, even if it does not look or smell spoiled, the FDA said. Those who do consume the product and begin feeling unwell should seek immediate medical attention, the FDA added.
The recalled cans of tuna can be returned to their place of purchase for a refund, thrown away, or customers can request Tri-Union can provide them with a retrieval kit directly and a coupon for a replacement product.
Questions and inquiries about the retrieval kits can be directed to Tri-Union Seafoods at support@thaiunionhelp.zendesk.com or 833-374-0171.
