A recall has been issued for canned tuna sold by major US grocers due to botulism concerns. The affected products were sold under several brand names, including Genova, Van Camp’s, H-E-B, and Trader Joe’s, according to a notice posted by the US Food and Drug Administration.
The recall involves certain cans of tuna in dozens of states and Washington D.C., which may be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum. The bacteria can cause serious food poisoning, including difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis, and death.
Consumers are advised not to consume the recalled tuna even if it appears or smells fine. People who have consumed the recalled product should seek immediate medical attention.
Retailers will provide a refund or replacement products for those affected. Consumers can contact Tri-Union Seafoods at [email protected] or 833-374-0171 to request assistance.
The impacted products were distributed across several states, with specific details listed on the FDA’s notice.
