On January 16, 2026, Tri-Union Seafoods warned consumers that limited quantities of Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil and Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Sea Salt that were recalled in February 2025 due to botulism risk were inadvertently redistributed by a third-party to grocery stores in several states.

(See the original recall and ConsumerLab’s Review of Canned Tuna, Salmon, Sardines & Mackerel, which includes our tests of products and Top Picks.)

The recall was initiated last year due to a manufacturing defect involving “easy-open” pull-tab can lids that could compromise the integrity of the product seal over time, potentially leading to contamination with Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium that can cause botulism, a rare but potentially fatal illness.

Consumers should not consume recalled Genova canned tuna, even if the product does not look or smell spoiled.

Recalled products include:

• Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil (5 oz, 4-pack)

  • UPC: 4800073265

  • Can Codes: S84N D2L (Best if Used By: 1/21/2028); S84N D3L (Best if Used By: 1/24/2028)

• Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Sea Salt (5 oz)

  • UPC: 4800013275

  • Can Code: S88N D1M (Best if Used By: 1/17/2028)

The affected products were distributed to limited retail stores in the following locations:

• Meijer — Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin

• Giant Foods — Maryland and Virginia

• Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions — California

These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.
