Tri-Union Seafoods has identified additional quantities of previously recalled Genova® Yellowfin Tuna that were inadvertently distributed to a limited number of retailers across multiple US states. The products are being recalled due to a potential contamination risk involving Clostridium botulinum, a bacteria that can cause serious and potentially fatal food poisoning.
The issue traces back to a February 2025 voluntary recall, initiated after a supplier identified a manufacturing defect in the “easy open” pull-tab can lids. The defect may compromise the seal over time, increasing the risk of leakage and bacterial contamination.
“Tri-Union Seafoods discovered that quarantined cases from the original recall were mistakenly shipped by a third-party distributor, causing previously recalled tuna to re-enter store shelves“
The affected tuna products were sold at select Meijer, Giant Foods, Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions locations in states including California, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Maryland, and Virginia. Consumers are urged not to consume the product, even if it appears normal, and to seek medical attention if they feel unwell.
