If you’ve recently purchased canned tuna at Trader Joe’s, H-E-B, Costco or Walmart, you may want to throw it out.
That’s because a manufacturer of canned tuna products recently issued a country-wide recall of its products over a design concern that could potentially cause botulism.

If it’s recalled you shouldn’t have to throw it out. You should be able to return it for exchange or refund.
If my new car is a lemon I don’t throw it out. They have to take it back for full refund.
I had a bad experience with canned tuna after an incident when I was a kid. I got a bone stuck in my throat. I was able to get it out, but I have never been willing to eat tuna since then.
Darn - I miss Rush and his Weemsco Tuna. It was the best!
“Weemsco Tuna has the great dolphin flavor you grew up with. In fact, it’s chock full of dolphin because now there’s more for us to use. Weemsco Tuna tastes great because it’s a secret blend of tuna, dolphin, shark, medical waste, and dead sea turtles who choked on deflated helium balloons.”

“Did A&P Tuna Kill Mrs. Brown and Mrs. McCarthy?”
(If you know you know 😁)
The manufacturer of the cans stated the lids may leak.

Botulinum is anaerobic. A lid leak would actually allow oxygen in, which is bad for many types of spoilage, but is the exact opposite of what would cause botulism.
Something doesn’t seem right about this.
You mean you don’t recognize Kommiela’s beautiful stepdaughter? She’s a model, don’t you know! The epitome of beauty!
HA!
This really bites. The Wally world I worked at got a metric s ton of this tuna and couldn’t sell it (its 9 bucks a 4 pack for the Genova yellow fin packed in oil) They ended up blowing it out for a 1.00 a 4 pack, so of course I bought 5 flats (6-4packs each) Its really good tuna. sad it could make me sick. Wonder what the refund will be, though I’d be good with replacement.
Thanks.
Maybe the song Tainted Love was about her.
I think I could taste some dolphin in it! :)

Ah, the good old days when tuna tasted great!
There could be low oxygen levels in certain parts of the food allowing growth of c. Botulinum. Unlikely, but possible....having experienced food poisoning many times, and witnessing people who had botulinum poisoning in ICU...I have a saying...”when in doubt, throw it out” and “I knew I shouldn’t have used that packet of gravy I found in the parking lot”
Food recall of the day alert.

Yikes! I think what really confuses the picture is that she/he/it’s got a serious Adams apple going on. Are we quite sure that that’s not a trans person?
I only buy Aldi solid white albacore tuna packed in water. It is highly rated and is delicious.
VAN CAMP is not “OFF LABEL” in my house
OR IS THIS A KNOCK OFF. ?
SHOULD BE “VAN CAMPS”
Tainted Tuna is a great band name
Did you hear about Charlie? He finally got canned.
