Tri-Union Seafoods, a subsidiary of food company Thai Union Group, is recalling several tuna products over the risk of botulism. The El Segundo, California, U.S.A.-based company voluntarily recalled select canned tuna products under Genova, Van Camp’s, H-E-B, and Trader Joe’s brands “out of an abundance of caution.”

According to a statement dated Feb. 7, the company is recalling the fish in an “abundance of caution” due to a notification from its supplier that the easy open pull tab on the tuna cans has a manufacturing defect that may cause the seal to leak or become contaminated with clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning.
