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:
