Major Canned Tuna Recall Hits Trader Joe's, Walmart, and More—Here's What You Need to Know

Major Canned Tuna Recall Hits Trader Joe's, Walmart, and More—Here's What You Need to Know

Yahoo11-02-2025

Tri-Union Seafoods has initiated a voluntary recall of select canned tuna products sold under the Genova, Van Camp's, H-E-B, and Trader Joe's brand names. This action comes after the discovery of a manufacturing defect that may compromise the product seal over time. Here's what you need to know about the affected products, the risks involved, and what steps to take if you have purchased the recalled tuna.
Tri-Union Seafoods has issued this voluntary recall as a precautionary measure after being alerted by its supplier about a manufacturing defect in the 'easy open' pull-tab can lids on select products. This defect could compromise the product's seal over time, potentially leading to leaks or contamination with Clostridium botulinum, a bacteria that causes a rare but potentially fatal form of food poisoning.
The recalled canned tuna products were distributed to various retail stores across multiple states:
H-E-B label – Sold exclusively in Texas.
Trader Joe's label – Available in Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin.
Genova 7 oz. – Distributed through Costco in Florida and Georgia.
Genova 5 oz. – Sold at Harris Teeter, Publix, H-E-B, Kroger, Safeway, Walmart, and independent retailers in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Texas.
Van Camp's label – Available at Walmart and independent retailers in Pennsylvania, Florida, and New Jersey.
Consumers should check the bottom of their cans for specific can codes and 'Best If Used By' dates, as well as the UPC numbers, to determine if their product is included in the recall. A complete list of affected codes and dates is available in the table below:

Botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by toxins produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. These toxins attack the nervous system, leading to muscle paralysis, breathing difficulties, and, in severe cases, death.
It is commonly linked to improperly canned, preserved, or stored foods, where the bacteria can thrive in low-oxygen environments. Symptoms include difficulty swallowing, blurred vision, slurred speech, muscle weakness, and respiratory distress. If you suspect you have botulism, seek immediate medical attention. It is a medical emergency requiring prompt treatment, including antitoxin treatment and respiratory support.

Oil Extends Jump as US Pulls Some Embassy Staff From Middle East

Oil extended its biggest daily gain since October after the US ordered some staff to depart its embassy in Baghdad and allowed military service members' families to leave the Middle East amid rising security risks. West Texas Intermediate rose as much as 1.7% to $69.29 after jumping 4.9% on Wednesday, while Brent settled just shy of $70. The Trump administration's move came in response to ongoing security concerns, after Iran threatened to attack US bases if talks over its nuclear program fall through. The UK Navy also issued a rare warning to mariners that higher tensions in the Middle East could affect shipping.

Fitch Says Global Energy Outlook Worsens on Tariff, OPEC+ Woes

Fitch Ratings has revised its 2025 outlook on the global oil and gas sector to 'deteriorating' from 'neutral' as a combination of US tariffs, OPEC+ output hikes and growing non-OPEC+ supply weigh on demand. Fitch now expects global oil demand to grow by about 800,000 barrels per day this year, lower than its previous forecast of just over 1 million. Meanwhile, faster supply growth means the market will remain oversupplied, the ratings firm said on Wednesday.
