Western United Fish Company, operating as Annasea Foods Group in Kent, Washington, has recalled 3,314 pounds of Costco’s Kirkland Signature Ahi Tuna Wasabi Poke due to potential listeria contamination, the Food and Drug Administration announced.
The recall was triggered after the company’s green onion supplier reported a positive listeria monocytogenes test result in the green onions used in the product on September 17.
The recalled poke, packaged in clear plastic clamshell containers with a pack date of Septeber 18, 2025, and a sell-by date of September 22, was sold in the deli sections of Costco warehouse stores across more than 30 states, including Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The product bears the Costco item number 17193.
“We are continuing to work with our green onion supplier to determine the root cause,” the company stated in the FDA notice.
Costco urged customers to stop using the product and dispose of it immediately, offering full refunds for affected purchases. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall, according to the FDA.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, which manifests in two forms. Non-invasive gastrointestinal listeriosis may cause mild symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, typically lasting one to three days. The more severe invasive listeriosis, where the bacteria spread beyond the intestines, can lead to symptoms like headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions.
The infection poses serious risks to young children, elderly individuals, those with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women, who may face complications such as miscarriages or stillbirths.
