Canned tuna sold at Trader Joe's, Costco, H-E-B recalled for botulism risk
Several brands of canned tuna sold at stores including Trader Joe's, Costco and H-E-B have been recalled because they might be contaminated with the type of bacteria that causes botulism. Botulism is a rare but potentially fatal form of food poisoning. Tri-Union Seafoods of El Segundo, California, recalled certain lots of tuna sold under the Genova, Van Camp's, H-E-B and Trader Joe's brand names. Consumers should not eat the recalled tuna and either discard it or return it for a refund. Botulism can cause difficulty breathing, paralysis and death.
