Memory of canned tuna: Trader Joe’s, Heb, Walmart, Publix Products impacted

If you have recently bought canned tuna at Trader Joe’s, Heb, Costco or Walmart, you may want to throw it.

This is because a manufacturer of recently canned tuna products issued a retreat from its products throughout the country for a design concern that could cause botulism.

TRI-UNION Seafoods began retirement of February 7, according to a press release from the Food and Medicines Administration (FDA). The retirement impacts canned tuna products sold under the brands of Genova, Van Camp, Heb and Trader Joe.

The brands of the retired products, as well as the states and stores in which they were sold, are listed below:

• Genova 7 Oz. – Costco in Florida and Georgia

• Van Camp label: Walmart and independent retailers in Pennsylvania, Florida and New Jersey

The manufacturer said the market withdrawal was “out of great caution” after he was alerted to a defect in his cans.

“This voluntary withdrawal is out of a great precaution after the notification of our supplier that the ‘Easy Open’ extraction tab can cover in limited products found a manufacturing defect that can compromise the integrity of the product seal (especially with the time), causing to filter, or worse, be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning, “said the press release.

“Consumers are noticed that they do not use the product, even if it is not seen or smells malcronically.”

According to centers for disease control and prevention (CDC), botulism can cause difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis and, in the most serious cases, death.

“When people eat these foods (contaminated with Clostridium botulinum)They can get severely ill, or even die, if they do not receive adequate medical treatment, “says the CDC website.

The Seafood of Tri Unión advised consumers to immediately seek medical care if they feel bad after eating one of the affected products, although so far such a case has been reported.
