The United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall of Wellsley Farms Farm-Raised Atlantic Salmon that was sold at BJ’s Wholesale Club stores.

Canned Tuna Recall

A recall is underway for canned tuna sold in nine states, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Monday. Tri-Union Seafoods initally recalled the cans in February 2025 due to a packaging defect of their “easy open” pull tabs. Over time, this defect may compromise the product seal, causing it to leak or become contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria that can cause botulism, which is a serious form of food poisoning. The recalled cans were quarantined, but a third-party distributor accidentally shipped them.1

The recall impacts two canned tuna products:
