This canned tuna poses a deadly risk. What you need to know about the FDA's new warning

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has posted a recall notice on its website announcing that select cans of Genova Yellowfin Tuna have the potential to be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium that can cause botulism in humans and animals who consume it. The canned tuna is produced by the El Segundo, California Tri-Union Seafoods company, which initiated the voluntary recall after it became aware that a third-party distributor had "inadvertently released quarantined product" that was linked to a recall in early 2025."

"That recall was related to a flaw in the "easy open" pull tab lid on select canned tuna products. The flaw meant that the seal on the can could be impacted, which could cause the tuna inside to leak or for bacteria like Clostridium botulinum to enter the product. Tri-Union Seafoods has learned that some quarantined products from that recall were inadvertently distributed by a third-party distributor, hence the new recall."

The products are produced by Tri-Union Seafoods of El Segundo, California, and the company initiated a voluntary recall after learning that a third-party distributor had inadvertently released quarantined product linked to an earlier 2025 recall. The earlier recall stemmed from a flaw in an "easy open" pull-tab lid that can compromise the can seal, allowing leakage and bacterial entry. Multiple Genova canned tuna varieties are included, including Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil 5.0 oz 4 Pack.
