Trader Joe's brand tuna products sold in Pennsylvania recalled
According to Tri-Union Seafoods, they decided to voluntarily recall select lots of canned tuna products that were sold under the brand names: Genova, Van Camp's, H-E-B, and Trader Joe's.
The company is recalling these select lots because their supplier notified them that the easy open pull tab on limited products encountered a manufacturing defect which could compromise the product's seal over time.
This faulty seal could cause it to leak, or become contaminated with Clostridium Botulinum, which is a potentially fatal form of food poisoning.
To date, no illnesses associated with the recalled products have been reported.
The impacted products were distributed to retail stores as follows:
H-E-B label – Texas
Trader Joe's label – 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. – Costco in Florida and Georgia
Genova 5 oz. – 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 – Walmart and independent retailers in Pennsylvania, Florida and New Jersey
Below is a list of all impacted product Lot Codes and UPC numbers:
Consumers are warned not to use the recalled product even if it does not look or smell spoiled, and if you are feeling unwell you should seek medical attention.
If you have a recalled can of tuna you can return it to the retailer for a full refund, or throw it away and contact Tri-Union Seafoods directly for a retrieval kit and a coupon for a replacement product.
You can contact Tri-Union Seafoods by emailing support@thaiunionhelp.zendesk.com or calling 833-374-0171.

Favorite snack recalled due to potentially deadly contamination
Food recalls happen more often than you might think. And they can be more than inconvenient. In 2024, a listeria outbreak in Boar's Head deli meat killed 10 people. Hamburgers at McDonald's were linked to E. coli outbreaks and killed one person, while another 27 ended up in hospitals across the country. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter In recent months, Costco recalled smoked salmon, Fresh Express recalled salad bowls, and breakfast-food maker Tree House Foods all had recalls. Fortunately, there were no illnesses or deaths linked to those products. Just last week Kroger and Walmart recalled a ready-to-eat meat product that was contaminated with listeria. Three people died and another 17 were injured after consuming FreshRealm Chicken. Now Trader Joe's is recalling a product that is also contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, although no one is known to be sickened yet. Image source: Gado/Getty Images Trader Joe's just issued a news release alerting customers about Face Rock Creamery's Vampire Slayer Cheese Curds, which are potentially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a disease-causing bacterium known to cause listeriosis. Listeriosis causes symptoms like fever, headaches, confusion, and seizures and is most likely to harm pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Vampire Slayer Cheese Curds affected by this recall are marked Lot Code: Use BY 082925. Related: Favorite grill food recalled for major contamination The affected product is only found at Trader Joe's locations in Central and Northern California, including Monterey and Fresno, and in Reno, Sparks, and Carson City in Northern Nevada. Trader Joe's recommends discarding the product or bringing the container to your location for a refund. You can also call the company's customer relations team at (626) 599-3817, send an email, or submit a message via the company's product feedback form.

This year's recalls have been related to the presence of undeclared allergens or plastic, cracked or damaged plastic bottles, and defective packaging. During the Covid pandemic, the number of food recalls dipped, but they have been on the rise again. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says a total of 1,908 products were recalled between September 2023 and 2024. Overall, the number of convenience foods available in many grocery stores has increased, coupled with unsanitary farming practices and unclean facilities, according to food safety experts. Contamination with allergens is the most common reason (38%) for a recall, followed by bacterial contamination (21.8%), and then contamination with a foreign object (11%). Late last year, Trader Joe's was placed in the so-called "Toxic Hall of Shame" by the organization Toxic-Free Future because the nonprofit alleges Trader Joe's doesn't protect consumers from toxic chemicals in its packaging.

Cheese curds recalled from Trader Joe's after sample tests show listeria
Two lots of cheese curds have been recalled from Trader Joe's stores after random sample testing turned up listeria in some finished product. Manufacturer Face Rock Creamery's recall notice said the Oregon company did the testing itself on its Vampire Slayer Garlic Cheddar Curds. Listeria infects about 1,600 people in the United States each year, barely 1/100th of salmonella, but listeria kills about 260, according to the CDC. This covers 6-ounce plastic cups with lot Nos. 20250519VS01 and 20250519VS02, and a Use By date of '08292025.' Now, the relatively good news: The curds went only to Trader Joe's in Northern California, including Fresno, and Nevada cities Reno, Carson City and Sparks. If you have recalled curds, return them to the store for a refund or at least throw them deep into the garbage, then wash and sanitize any surface or utensil that touched them. For questions, contact the company's Customer Care team through email at info@ The best time is 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Eastern.
