3,000 pounds of Costco poke recalled for a surprising reason

Have you recently bought Kirkland Signature Brand Ahi Tuna Wasabi Poke from Costco? You should check that this was not part of a new reminder.

Western United Fish Company (also known as Annasea Foods Group) by Kent, Washington, published a reminder for 3,314 pounds from the signing brand of Kirkland Ahi Tuna Wasabi Poke Paked on September 18, 2025, with a date of sale of September 22, 2025.

The recall is on concerns about Listeria contamination, which can be fatal in young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Otherwise, healthy people can still have serious symptoms of Listeria infection, including high fever, bad headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, according to the FDA.

The poke was packed in plastic containers with a Kirkland signature brand, although it was produced by Western United Fish Company / Annasea Foods Group. Consumers are invited to immediately have the product and request a full refund from their local Costco.

The concern about Listeria is actually focused on green onions that have been included in the product rather than raw fish.

“This recall was initiated after being informed by our green onion supplier Listeria monocytogenes The positive test leads to green onions that were only used in AHI Tuna Wasabi Poke on 09/17/2025, “said the company in a press release published on the FDA website.” We continue to work with our supplier of green onions to determine the deep cause. “”

Listeria can be a very serious problem. In June, Alfredo Fettuccine chicken meals sold to Kroger and Walmart were recalled after 17 people fell ill and 3 people were actually died, according to NPR. It turned out that they were contaminated by Listeria. A woman has also lost a fetus, which is why pregnant people are advised to be particularly alert when listing on Listeria occur.

Experts have expressed their concern about Trump diet for American food security monitoring programs in recent months. The CDC has discreetly reduced the Active (or Foodnet) surveillance network, which follows food diseases of food origin, according to a surprising report by the New York Times. And one of the concerns is that most people will not really notice the change before it is too late. In a country of more than 330 million people, a handful of people dying of a given epidemic are barely noted. But if food security regulators do not have data to identify an epidemic, these death sleeves can develop unnecessarily.
