Certain canned tuna products sold by grocers including Costco, Trader Joe's and Walmart are being recalled due to botulism concerns, according to a notice posted Monday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The recall involves some canned tuna sold in dozens of states and Washington, D.C., under the Genova, Van Camp's, H-E-B and Trader Joe's brand names, stated Tri-Union Seafoods, a insubsidiary of Thai Union, a global seafood provider based in Thailand.

"The 'easy open' pull can lid on limited products encountered a manufacturing defect that may compromise the integrity of the seal (especially over time), causing it to leak, or worse, be contaminated with clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning," Tri-Union Seafoods stated in the recall posted Monday by the FDA. A supplier alerted the company to the manufacturing defect, El Segundo, California-based Tri-Union said.
