Several canned tuna products made by Tri-Union Seafoods have been voluntarily recalled after it was discovered that a manufacturing defect could lead to botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning. The products were sold at Costco and other major retailers under popular brand names like Genova and more.

Tri-Union Seafoods, the manufacturer, voluntarily recalled specific lots "out of an abundance of caution." A defect to the pull tabs on the cans potentially could cause the tuna to become contaminated with clostridium botulinum, the bacteria that can cause botulism, the Food and Drug Administration said.
