Tuna recalled over botulism risk mistakenly shipped to stores in 9 states

WASHINGTON D.C., DC — Canned tuna that was recalled last year due to a risk of botulism was accidentally shipped to retailers in nine states, prompting a new recall, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Tri-Union Seafoods issued a voluntary recall in February 2025 of select canned tuna products because of a manufacturing defect that could compromise the product’s seal, potentially leading to contamination with Clostridium botulinum, a bacteria that causes botulism.

The FDA published a safety alert on Monday after a third-party distributor shipped quarantined cases of the canned tuna to a limited number of retailers.

Check Your Pantry: 'Potentially Fatal' Tuna Was Accidentally Shipped To Stores In 9 States

Previously recalled cans of tuna were mistakenly distributed to various retailers across nine states.

The affected products have a lid defect that could lead to contamination with bacteria that can be fatal if consumed.

Consumers should throw away the products or return them to their place of purchase for a refund.

Check those pantries, people. That can of tuna hiding in the corner might be one you definitely don't want to open. According to the FDA, a third-party distributor inadvertently shipped quarantined tuna that was previously recalled due to a defect—one that could potentially lead to Clostridium botulinum, a bacteria that can cause botulism, a "potentially fatal form of food poisoning."

If you bought canned tuna at these stores, throw it out immediately

Canned tuna sold in nine states has been recalled over concerns of potential contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Last February, Tri-Union Seafoods voluntarily initiated a recall due to a manufacturing defect on the “easy open” pull tab on certain canned products. The distribution company said in an announcement that over time, the defect may affect the product seal, causing leaks or contamination from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum.

Clostridium botulinum is the cause of botulism, a food poisoning disease that can be life-threatening, according to the statement.

Tri-Union Seafoods later discovered possible contamination in additional canned tuna cases that had been shipped to third-party retailers.
