These canned tuna items from Publix, Costco, Walmart recalled for potential botulism
Canned tuna products sold under Genova, Van Camp's, H-E-B and Trader Joe's brand names have been recalled for potential botulism risks. In Florida, the cans were sold at Costco, Publix, Walmart and independent retailers, according to a release shared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Monday.
Tri-Union Seafoods voluntarily recalled select lots of canned tuna items "out of an abundance of caution" after their supplier notified them of a manufacturing defect in the "easy pull" pull tab can lid on them that could compromise the seal. Over time the product could leak or be contaminated with clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning.
No illnesses have been reported as of Feb. 11.
It is rare that even eating bacteria spores make people sick, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But under certain conditions, they can create "one of the most lethal toxins known."

Mushroom Recall Sparks Nationwide Warning to Customers
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Hofood99 Inc. is recalling packages of their Enoki Mushrooms due to fears the product may be contaminated with listeria. Newsweek reached out to the company via phone for additional comment on Wednesday and left a voicemail. Why It Matters Numerous recalls have been initiated this year due to the potential for the following: damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens. Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or food allergies every year. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine "major" food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts. The FDA warns that Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that could cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in frail or older people, young children and those with weakened immune systems. Listeria could also lead to stillbirths or miscarriages in pregnant women, the FDA says. What To Know According to the FDA alert, the mushrooms were distributed nationwide to stores and retailers. The recalled mushrooms are sold in 200-gram green plastic packaging with a with UPC Barcode of 6 976532 310051 seen on the back label. No illnesses or injuries have been reported related to the recalled mushrooms. The mushrooms were distributed by Hofood99 Inc., located at 21903 56th Avenue Oakland Gardens, New York 11364. Recalled packages of Enoki Mushroom from Hofood99 Inc. can be seen in a June 11, 2025, recall alert. (Photo from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) Recalled packages of Enoki Mushroom from Hofood99 Inc. can be seen in a June 11, 2025, recall alert. (Photo from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) What People Are Saying The FDA in the alert in part: "The contamination was discovered after samples were collected from a store in Michigan and subsequent analysis by Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development (MDARD) Laboratory Division revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes." In an email to Newsweek in January, the FDA said: "Most recalls in the U.S. are carried out voluntarily by the product manufacturer and when a company issues a public warning, typically via news release, to inform the public of a voluntary product recall, the FDA shares that release on our website as a public service. "The FDA's role during a voluntary, firm-initiated, recall is to review the recall strategy, evaluate the health hazard presented by the product, monitor the recall, and as appropriate alert the public and other companies in the supply chain about the recall," the FDA continued. It added: "The FDA provides public access to information on recalls by posting a listing of recalls according to their classification in the FDA Enforcement Report, including the specific action taken by the recalling company. The FDA Enforcement Report is designed to provide a public listing of products in the marketplace that are being recalled." Additional information on recalls can be found via the FDA's Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts. What Happens Next Customers who have purchased the recalled mushrooms may return the product to the original place of purchase for a full refund or destroy it, the FDA says. People with additional questions may contact the company at (917) 756-9833 weekdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Massive Shrimp Recall: Nearly 45,000 Pounds Affected Over Dangerous Listeria Risk
If you recently bought seafood, check your freezer. Bornstein Seafoods of Bellingham, Washington, just issued a recall of 44,550 pounds of cooked and peeled ready-to-eat coldwater shrimp meat due to potential listeria contamination, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The frozen product was distributed directly to distributors and retailers in California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia in Canada. Per the FDA, the product may have been further distributed and sold at retailers nationwide. The recalled item is packaged in 1- and 5-pound plastic bags under the Bornstein Seafoods brand. The lot code is printed in the lower-left corner of the master case labels and at the bottom on the backs of the bags. The affected 1-pound bags of shrimp meat have the UPC code 614133200246 and lot numbers A19008, A19009, A19019, A19026, A19030, A19032, A19037, and A19039. The affected 5-pound bags have the UPC code 614133200239 and lot numbers A19009, P11710, A18989, A19006, A19007, P11709, and P11710. During routine sampling, listeria was detected in an in-process shrimp sample in the food production environment. Bornstein Seafoods has stopped distributing the product as it investigates what caused the problem. Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), symptoms of an intestinal illness caused by listeria typically include diarrhea and vomiting. Symptoms usually start within 24 hours after consuming the contaminated food and last one to three days. If the bacteria has spread beyond the gut, people may experience more serious symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, muscle aches, and fatigue. Symptoms of this type of illness usually start within two weeks after eating the contaminated food. If you have a fever and other symptoms of listeriosis, such as fatigue and muscle aches, contact your healthcare provider immediately. So far, no illnesses have been reported due to the recalled product. If you purchased the recalled product, return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
