(WJW) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall of canned tuna products sold at several retailers including Walmart, Trader Joe’s, Kroger and Costco.

According to the alert, Tri-Union Seafoods is voluntarily recalling some canned tuna products after learning about a manufacturing defect involving the “easy open” pull tab lid that may compromise the can’s seal and cause it to leak over time “or worse, be contaminated with clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning.”

Customers are warned not to use the affected products even if they don’t “look or smell spoiled.”
