Big-Name Stores in 28 States Hit By Massive Canned Tuna Recall

A new recall has some shoppers checking their cupboards for canned tuna that may be “compromised.”

Tuna Recall Urges ‘Abundance Of Caution’

The latest recall announced by the Food and Drug Administration this week involves cans of tune manufactured by Tri-Union Seafoods. The company is responsible for several brands of canned tuna sold throughout the U.S.

According to the FDA, Tri-Union Seafoods made the voluntary recall “out of an abundance of caution.” The company said it had been notified by its supplier that the “easy open” lids on the cans may have a defect that could lead to leaking or potentially fatal forms of food poisoning.
