(Canned Tuna recalled)....The recalled tuna wass being sold at Trader Joe's, Costco and H-E-B.

It is suspected the canned tuna could contain a type of bacteria that causes botulism. Botulism is a potenttially fatal form of food poisoning. Tri-Union Seafoods of El Segundo, California initiated the recall last week. The tuna was sold under the Genova, Van Camp's, H-E-B and Trader Joe's brand names according to the US Food and Drug Administration. The company said the lids on the easy open cans may have a manufacturing defect that could cause products to leak or to become contaminated with the bacteria that causes botulism. The tuna was also sold at Walmart, Krogers, Safeway and several independent stores in several states. No illnesses have been reported. The tuna should not be consumed even if it doesn't look or smell spoiled. The cans should be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund, or thrown away.
