Trader Joe's brand tuna products sold in Pennsylvania recalled

(WHTM) — Canned tuna products that were sold under various brand names including Trader Joe's have been recalled due to a risk of contamination which could cause food poisoning.
According to Tri-Union Seafoods, they decided to voluntarily recall select lots of canned tuna products that were sold under the brand names: Genova, Van Camp's, H-E-B, and Trader Joe's.
The company is recalling these select lots because their supplier notified them that the easy open pull tab on limited products encountered a manufacturing defect which could compromise the product's seal over time.
This faulty seal could cause it to leak, or become contaminated with Clostridium Botulinum, which is a potentially fatal form of food poisoning.
To date, no illnesses associated with the recalled products have been reported.
The impacted products were distributed to retail stores as follows:
H-E-B label – Texas
Trader Joe's label – Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin.
Genova 7 oz. – Costco in Florida and Georgia
Genova 5 oz. – Harris Teeter, Publix, H-E-B, Kroger, Safeway, Walmart, and independent retailers in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Texas
Van Camp's label – Walmart and independent retailers in Pennsylvania, Florida and New Jersey
Below is a list of all impacted product Lot Codes and UPC numbers:
Consumers are warned not to use the recalled product even if it does not look or smell spoiled, and if you are feeling unwell you should seek medical attention.
If you have a recalled can of tuna you can return it to the retailer for a full refund, or throw it away and contact Tri-Union Seafoods directly for a retrieval kit and a coupon for a replacement product.
You can contact Tri-Union Seafoods by emailing support@thaiunionhelp.zendesk.com or calling 833-374-0171.
It is important to note that this recall does not include any other Tri-Union Seafoods products.

I've been on the low-FODMAP diet for 6 weeks. Here are 6 of my favorite Trader Joe's grocery staples.

Six weeks ago, I started the low-FODMAP diet to help improve my gut health and reduce inflammation. I love shopping at Trader Joe's for diet-friendly staples. Blueberries, chia seeds, and carrot juice are a few of my favorite items to buy. About six weeks ago, I started the low-FODMAP diet in an effort to improve my gut health. The diet entails cutting out foods high in short-chain carbohydrates (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharide, and polyols). These carbs can cause digestive issues for people with functional gut disorders, like IBS. I started the elimination phase of the diet by avoiding high-FODMAP foods like dairy-based milk, wheat-based bread, garlic, and apples. Although the diet initially felt overwhelming and restrictive, I was pleased to learn that Trader Joe's has a variety of low-FODMAP options. From blueberries and carrot juice to peanut butter, here are six of my favorite FODMAP-friendly staples. Blueberries are a key ingredient in my morning breakfasts. Blueberries are low in fructose, which makes them great for the low-FODMAP diet. I enjoy adding them to diet-friendly versions of pancakes. Chia seeds are the star of my 15-minute pudding recipe. Every night, I make homemade chia-seed pudding by refrigerating a mix of chia seeds, almond milk, and maple syrup in a glass jar. I like to make this because a small serving of chia seeds is low in FODMAPs. Almond milk is lactose free, which also makes it good for low-FODMAP diets, and maple syrup is considered a better low-FODMAP alternative to other sweeteners like honey. Overall, it's a great, convenient breakfast option that leaves me feeling satisfied. Peanut butter is high in protein and healthy fats. In addition to spreading peanut butter on low-FODMAP-friendly bagels, I like to pair it with fruit and celery for an easy snack. Trader Joe's unsalted peanut butter contains just one ingredient: peanuts. Compared to other nuts like cashews and pistachios, peanuts are low in fermentable carbs. I like to use organic brown-rice penne as the base for my homemade pesto pasta. Pastas made from rice are better for my low-FODMAP diet than standard wheat-based pastas, which are higher in fructans. So, I like to pick up Trader Joe's organic brown-rice pasta. To make my pesto sauce low-FODMAP, too, I omit garlic from the recipe and substitute pine nuts with walnuts. Organic carrot juice is high in vitamin A, antioxidants, and minerals. Although I recently purchased a juicer, I like to grab Trader Joe's organic carrot juice when I'm on the go. Carrots are low in fructans and mannitol, making them good for the low-FODMAP diet. Organic white-corn tortilla chips make a great base for homemade nachos. I use Trader Joe's organic white-corn tortilla chips as the base for my 20-minute nacho recipe, which also includes grilled or sautéed chicken and some avocado. Unlike tortilla chips made from wheat flour, which are high in fructans, corn-based tortilla chips don't have as many fructans.

Urgent dried fruit recall in 19 states over serious health risk

Dried fruit sold in multiple states has been recalled due to a serious health risk. Turkana Food Inc issued a recall on 352 cases of its Floria Dried Apricots, according to a press release shared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday. The product was recalled because it contains an undeclared allergen, sulfites, or 'chemicals used as preservatives' added to foods, beverages, and medications to prevent them from spoiling, according to the Cleveland Clinic. According to the FDA, the recall came after routine sampling, performed by the New York State Department of Agriculture, revealed that the product contained sulfites, which 'were not listed on the product labeling.' As Turkana Food Inc continues an 'investigation to correct the issue with the manufacturer,' production and distribution of the product by the FDA has been ceased. The recalled Floria Dried Apricots were sold at stores in 19 states: Alabama, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. The product has the LOT number 440090478-15-333 on the bottom portion of the packaging. The UPC Label 2539560010 is marked by a sticker on the side of the packaging. The expiration date of November 2026 is also on the bottom of the packaging. Consumers who have the recalled product should not consume it. The FDA is also urging consumer to return the dried apricots to the place of purchase for a full refund. There have been no reported illnesses so far. Most often, people with asthma have allergies and sensitivities to sulfites. Earlier this week, P. East Trading Corp. also urgently recalled its Salted Smoked Split Herring because it may have been contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium that can cause illness or death. Botulism is a rare but serious condition caused by a toxin that attacks the body's nerves. Symptoms include general weakness, dizziness, double-vision, trouble with speaking or swallowing, difficulty in breathing, abdominal distension, and constipation. Then, on Tuesday, 6,668 cases of Breyers Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream was also recalled following customer concerns that there was a mislabeling error. The recall came after it was found that the tubs actually contained Rocky Road ice cream. The Chocolate Truffle flavor has an allergen label that reads, 'may contain tree nuts,' while the Rocky Road flavor declares almonds as one of the ingredients. The last two years have also seen an alarming and unexplained rise in recalls. In 2024, approximately 300 food recalls were issued, with those recalls being linked to nearly 1,400 illnesses, a Public Interest Research Group report revealed. Out of the 1,400 illnesses, 487 people became sick enough to require hospitalization, and 19 people died. While those numbers are still low when weighed against the entire U.S. population, they are also double the number of hospitalizations and deaths from food-borne illnesses in 2023.
