Summary by Recall Canary from the FDA notice

Tri-Union Seafoods is cautioning consumers that a third-party distributor inadvertently released quarantined product associated with a February 2025 recall of Genova Yellowfin Tuna.

The initial voluntary recall was conducted following notification from the supplier that the easy open pull tab can lid on limited products had a manufacturing defect that may compromise the integrity of the product seal, causing it to leak, or worse, be contaminated with clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning.

This current recall was initiated after Tri-Union Seafoods discovered that quarantined cases, associated with the initial recall, were inadvertently shipped by a third-party distributor. Consumers should not use the product even if it does not look or smell spoiled. Consumers feeling unwell should seek immediate medical attention.
