FDA Announces Canned Tuna Recall in 9 States Over Botulism Risk
Health: Trusted and Empathetic Health and Wellness Information • • business
Key Points:
- The FDA announced a recall of canned tuna sold in nine states due to a packaging defect in the "easy open" pull tabs that may compromise the seal and lead to contamination with Clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism.
- The recall affects two Genova Yellowfin Tuna products: a 5.0 oz four-pack in olive oil and a 5.0 oz single can in extra virgin olive oil with sea salt, with specific can codes and best-if-used-by dates in early 2028.
- These products were sold at Meijer stores in six Midwestern states, Giant Foods in Maryland and Virginia, and Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions in California.
