Canned tuna recall: Tri-Union Seafoods voluntarily issued the recall ‘out of an abundance of caution’ after learning that the ‘easy open’ pull tab on the lids had a potential defect that could compromise the seal, causing the product to leak or potentially be contaminated with clostridium botulinum.

EL SEGUNDO – An El Segundo-based seafood distribution company has issued a recall of selected canned tuna products sold under various brand names in stores in multiple states, including California.
The Pangilinan-led telco player is set to pay the complainants $3 million in total. “The settlement contains no admission of liability, fault or wrong doing by any defendant,” the company said in a statement on Thursday.
Under a “regionalization” agreement forged by the two nations, the Philippines will just impose an import moratorium on specific areas or districts in the UK with disease outbreaks.
Tri-Union Seafoods voluntarily issued the recall “out of an abundance of caution” after learning that the “easy open” pull tab on the can lids had a potential defect that could compromise the seal, causing the product to leak or potentially be contaminated with clostridium botulinum, a possibly fatal food poisoning, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
“Consumers are warned not to use the product even if it does not look or smell spoiled,” according to the FDA announcement. “Consumers feeling unwell should seek immediate medical attention. No illnesses associated with the recalled products have been reported and the recall is being conducted to ensure consumer safety.”
