On Feb. 14, 2025, Trader Joe's recalled its frozen Organic Acai bowls for potential plastic contamination.
The company's short announcement stated that "out of abundance of caution" consumers who had purchased the Organic Acai Bowls should "discard" them, as they may contain plastic. Unopened products may also be returned to consumers' local Trader Joe's stores for a full refund.
While it is currently unclear how plastic may have contaminated the bowls, customers with questions can reach the company via phone at (626) 599-3817 or via email at this link.
On Feb. 7, 2025, canned tuna sold at Trader Joe's and other grocery retailers was recalled for defective cans.
Tri-Union Seafoods announced a voluntary recall of select products due to a defect in the tuna cans' "easy open" lids. According to a press release by the company reported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this defect could potentially "compromise the integrity of the product seal (especially over time), causing it to leak, or worse, be contaminated with clostridium botulinum."
Products featured in this recall were sold under the H-E-B, Trader Joe's, Genova, and Van Camp's labels and distributed nationwide at grocery stores such as Walmart, Costco, Trader Joe's, Kroger, and Publix, per The Independent.
The FDA recall website has a full list of the UPC and Best if Used By dates. As of writing, no illnesses have been reported associated with the recall.
If you have a contaminated product in your home, the FDA and Tri-Union Seafoods recommend throwing it away if unopened and ceasing to use it if opened. Consumers can also return it to the retailer from which it was purchased for a full refund or contact Tri-Union Seafoods at support@thaiunionhelp.zendesk.com or 833-374-0171 for a retrieval kit and coupon for a replacement product.
