Company Announcement
El Segundo, CA, January 16, 2026 – Tri-Union Seafoods is cautioning consumers that a third-party distributor inadvertently released quarantined product that was associated to a February 2025 recall. The initial voluntary recall was conducted following notification from our supplier that the “easy open” pull tab can lid on limited products had a manufacturing defect that may compromise the integrity of the product seal (especially over time), causing it to leak, or worse, be contaminated with clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning.
This current recall was initiated after Tri-Union Seafoods discovered that quarantined cases, associated with the initial recall, were inadvertently shipped by a third-party distributor. The impacted products were distributed to limited retail stores as follows:
- Meijer – Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin
- Giant Foods – Maryland and Virginia
- Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions – California
Recalled products include specific can codes and Best if Used By dates indicated on the bottom of the cans, and UPC numbers listed below:
| Description | UPC | Can Code | Best if Used By Date |
| Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil 5.0 oz 4 Pack | 4800073265 | S84N D2L | 1/21/2028 |

| Genova Yellowfin Tuna in in Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Sea Salt 5.0 oz | 4800013275 | S88N D1M | 1/17/2028 |
