A canned tuna recall at Costco and other stores over a botulism risk has consumers on alert. Check if your tuna is affected and what to do next.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced certain brands of tuna are being recalled due to a safety concern pertaining to the can's lid.

The recall was triggered by "a manufacturing defect that may compromise the integrity of the product seal (especially over time), causing it to leak, or worse, be contaminated with clostridium botulinum," the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA) said.

The voluntary recall over botulism fears also covers cans sold at Safeway, Harris Teeter, Costco and other major grocery stores in dozens of states.

Unfortunately, our favorite grocer is not exempt from recalls regarding food safety – the FDA just announced that “lots” of canned tuna products sold at Trader Joe’s (and a handful of other popular retailers) were recalled due to a “manufacturing defect” that could cause fatal side effects.

Tri-Union Seafoods is recalling certain canned tuna products sold at Costco, H-E-B, Kroger, Trader Joe’s, Walmart and other stores.

The affected products — which were sold in retailers like Trader Joe's, Costco and Publix — were voluntarily recalled due to the potential for botulism.
