Company Announcement
El Segundo, CA, January 16, 2026 - Tri-Union Seafoods is cautioning consumers that a third-party distributor inadvertently released quarantined product that was associated to a February 2025 recall. The initial voluntary recall was conducted following notification from our 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 (especially over time), 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. The impacted products were distributed to limited retail stores as follows:

Meijer - Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin
Giant Foods - Maryland and Virginia
Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions - California
Recalled products include specific can codes and Best if Used By dates indicated on the bottom of the cans, and UPC numbers listed below:
