The canned tuna was initially recalled in February 2025, but the current recall was announced after Tri-Union Seafoods discovered that quarantined cases of the canned tuna associated with the initial recall were inadvertently shipped by a third-party distributor.
The redistributed Genova tuna was recalled due to a manufacturing defect that may affect the products’ seal. This can allow bacteria like Clostridium botulinum to enter and grow inside the can, which can cause foodborne illness. If you are showing symptoms of botulism such as bloating, constipation, muscle weakness, double vision, dizziness, trouble speaking or swallowing and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Check your pantry, and if you have the recalled tuna on hand, dispose of it or return to your place of purchase for a possible refund. For questions about this recall or to request a replacement, contact Tri-Union Seafoods at support@thaiunionhelp.zendesk.com or call 833-374-0171 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
