Have you recently purchased Kirkland Signature brand Ahi Tuna Wasabi Poke from Costco? You should check to make sure it wasn’t part of a new recall.

Western United Fish Company (also known as Annasea Foods Group) of Kent, Washington, has issued a recall for 3,314 pounds of Kirkland Signature brand Ahi Tuna Wasabi Poke packed on Sept. 18, 2025, with a sell-by date of Sept. 22, 2025.

The recall is over concerns about Listeria contamination, which can be fatal among young kids, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. Otherwise healthy people can still have serious symptoms from listeria infection, including high fever, bad headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, according to the FDA.

The poke was packaged in plastic clamshell containers with Kirkland Signature branding, though it was produced by Western United Fish Company/Annasea Foods Group. Consumers are being told to dispose of the product immediately and request a full refund from their local Costco.

The concern over listeria is actually focused on the green onions that were included in the product rather than the raw fish.

“This recall was initiated after being notified by our green onion supplier of a Listeria monocytogenes positive test result in the green onions which were used only in Ahi Tuna Wasabi Poke on 9/17/2025,” the company said in a statement posted to the FDA website. “We are continuing to work with our green onion supplier to determine the root cause.”

Alabama

Alaska

Colorado
