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

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 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.
