Chicken of the Sea Genova Meal Kits recalled for quality standards

Chicken of the Sea is recalling promotional Genova Meal Kits because products included in the kits were prepared in a home kitchen that did not meet quality standards.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. No illnesses, injuries, or specific hazards (such as pathogens or allergens) are stated in the source text. The recall is based on failure to meet quality standards in preparation, which constitutes a precautionary measure rather than a documented safety threat.

Plain-English summary

Chicken of the Sea is recalling promotional Genova Meal Kits sold in California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, New York, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. The kits include dry whole wheat pasta, dried basil and parsley, two cans of Genova Tuna, pesto, Kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes, and dates.

The reason for the recall is that products prepared in a home kitchen and included in the promotional kits did not meet quality standards. Approximately 250 kits were distributed, with 9 of these going to Chicken of the Sea.

Consumers who have purchased these meal kits should not use them. The FDA recommends contacting Chicken of the Sea or Thai Union with questions about this recall.
