Remember the big canned tuna recall back in February 2025? According to the Food & Drug Administration, a third-party distributor accidentally distributed some of the recalled tuna. It’s time to check your cabinets again.

On January 19, 2026, the FDA announced that Tri-Union Seafoods, the company involved in the February recall, is cautioning consumers that a distributor “inadvertently released quarantined product that was associated to a February 2025 recall.” The original voluntary recall followed notification from a supplier that the “easy open” pull tab lid had a manufacturing defect on some products.

This defect means the cans may not have sealed properly, and could be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning (commonly known as botulism).

How to Tell If Your Tuna Is Part of the Recall 

The current recall started after Tri-Union Seafoods discovered that quarantined cases associated with the initial recall were accidentally shipped by a third-party distributor. The products were distributed to the following stores:

• Meijer: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin
• Giant Foods: Maryland and Virginia
• Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions: California

Recalled products have specific can codes and best-by dates on the bottom of the cans:

Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil, 5.0 oz, 4 Pack
UPC: 4800073265
Can Code: S84N D2L, S84N D3L
Best if Used By Date: 1/21/2028, 1/24/2028

Genova Yellowfin Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Sea Salt, 5.0 oz
UPC: 4800013275
Can Code: S88N D1M
Best if Used By Date: 1/17/2028

What to Do With Recalled Cans 

If you have any recalled cans of tuna, do not use them. You can either throw away the cans or return them to the store for a refund. You can also contact Tri-Union Seafoods directly for a retrieval kit and a coupon for a replacement. To contact Tri-Union Seafoods, email support@thaiunionhelp.zendesk.com or call 833-374-0171 Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST.

FDA Announces Recall on More Than 38,000 Gallons of Plastic Water Jugs for ‘Foreign Black Substance’

Here’s what to look for.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall on 38,043 gallons of Meijer Steam Distilled Water sold in gallon-sized plastic jugs because the water may be contaminated with a “floating black foreign substance.” Meijer Inc. originally initiated the recall on Nov. 13, 2025, but the recall is ongoing, and has yet to be classified by the FDA to determine the severity.

How To Identify the Recalled Water Jugs 

The 1-gallon plastic jugs of Meijer Distilled Water have a red lid, and can be identified by the UPC 041250841197, “best by” date of Oct. 4, 2026, and lot code 39-222 #3. Meijer’s recalled water jugs also have the Product ID 472859 and Meijer Item Code 477910. 

The recalled Meijer Distilled Water gallons were sold at Meijer stores across the Midwest in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

What To Do if You Have the Recalled Water Jugs 

If you have the recalled plastic water jugs, you should not drink or use the water. Even though the FDA has yet to classify the recall to alert consumers of its severity, the product is still not safe to consume, as it is contaminated with a foreign black substance that’s floating in the water.

Instead, dispose of the water or return the gallon jug to your local Meijer store for a full refund or replacement.
