Approximately 14,147 cases of canned tuna sold under the Genova, Trader Joe's, HEB, and Van Camp's brands are being recalled because the easy-pull lids were not secured properly during manufacturing. This defect could allow Clostridium botulinum to grow inside the cans, potentially contaminating the food even if it does not look or smell spoiled. The recall covers various varieties of wild-caught tuna in water, olive oil, and vegetable oil, including single cans and multi-packs. Consumers should not eat these products and should return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund or throw them away.
The improperly sealed lids create an environment where Clostridium botulinum can grow and produce a toxin that causes botulism, a severe and life-threatening form of food poisoning. Symptoms of botulism can include double vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, and muscle weakness, and it can lead to respiratory failure or death if not treated immediately.
