The recall covers 33 states.
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.”
The states where the poke has been recalled:
Listeria can be a very serious problem. Back in June, chicken fettuccine alfredo meals sold at Kroger and Walmart were recalled after 17 people became ill and 3 people actually died, according to NPR. It turned out they were contaminated with listeria. One woman also lost a fetus, which is why pregnant people are advised to be particularly alert when recalls over listeria happen.
Experts have expressed concern over the Trump regime’s cuts to America’s food safety monitoring programs in recent months. The CDC quietly cut back the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (or FoodNet), which tracks foodborne illness, according to a startling report from the New York Times. And one of the concerns is that most people won’t really notice the change until it’s too late. In a country of over 330 million people, a handful of people dying from a given outbreak is barely noticed. But if food safety regulators don’t have the data to spot an outbreak, those handful of deaths can grow unnecessarily.
Consumers with any questions about the Costco poke recall are being encouraged to contact Western United Fresh Co./Annasea Foods Group by calling 425-558-7809 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. ET (7 a.m. to 3:30pm PT) Monday to Friday, or to email: [email protected].

Apple’s new, translucent UI has received lots of buzz, but the amazing 3D effects of Spatial Scenes are the real reason to download iOS 26.
Liquid Glass is an iOS 26 UI reimagining that brings a slick system-wide translucent quality to your iPhone. I like the fresh new look, but it has snatched the spotlight from one of iOS 26’s more compelling features: Spatial Scenes. This new generative AI tool transforms your photos into eye-catching 3D wallpapers you can use on your iPhone’s Home and Lock screens. The new images also react to your phone’s movements in a way that must be seen to be believed. After spending more hours than I care to admit tinkering with it, I can confidently say Spatial Scenes elevates iOS 26 to a must-have update.

I like the glassy look, graphical flourish, and customization options Liquid Glass brings, but not everyone is happy with it. Some complaints include poor text readability, confusion from blurred backgrounds, and even dizziness. Spatial Scenes, on the other hand, introduces plenty of iPhone customization, looks fantastic, and has few issues.
First, I tried Spatial Scenes to create custom wallpaper; you enable it by heading to the wallpaper customization menu and tapping the hexagonal badge. Spatial Scenes uses AI to analyze and create a depth map for virtually any photo with a clear subject. In testing, I found it works on almost any image, including portraits, illustrations, or an AI-generated image saved to my phone. The result was an absolutely stunning parallax effect. When I tilted my iPhone, the background elements shifted subtly behind the foreground elements in each image, creating a persuasive illusion of depth.
I transformed an old castle interior photo into a Spatial Scene, which added a cool layering effect to the pillars. Moving my iPhone made them slightly shift in 3D. As a Pokémon card collector, I love eyeballing the effects and textures applied to rare cards; Spatial Scenes scratches the same itch. Applying the visual effects quickly became an addiction, as I scoured my photos eagerly for images to enhance. Recommended by Our Editors
That’s the other great thing about it; you can also use Spatial Scenes in the Photos app. The same hexagonal badge appears under the More button in the Photo app for any compatible image in your library. I tapped the badge on one, and my iPhone generated a fantastic Spatial Scene in a literal second. The results were near-magical. Much like Android’s Cinematic Wallpapers, I spent hours browsing through my Photo app, breathing new life into older photos and making old memories feel new again. It’s worth updating to iOS 26 for this feature alone.A Few Growing Pains
iOS 26 is only a week old, so as I expected, I experienced a few hiccups while tinkering with Spatial Scenes. It works well with most photos, but not all. For example, the option was unavailable for a low-angle photo I snapped of a castle flanked by trees. Images incompatible with Spatial Scenes lack the hexagonal badge icon. It didn’t surprise me because this photo had no outstanding foreground elements. Finding one I couldn’t transform into a beautiful 3D picture was a bummer, but close to 95% of my photo library was compatible.
Another minor gripe: Apple is still a bit controlling in displaying your Spatial Scene image as a wallpaper. When converting a photo into a wallpaper, Apple automatically adjusts and zooms the image for an optimal view. However, sometimes this cuts off more of the image than I would like—but if I zoom out to get a better view, my iPhone deactivates Spatial Scenes to accommodate it. It’s a little irritating that it works this way. I would love to see Apple loosen its grip so that I could freely customize my photo as a wallpaper in all its depth-enhanced glory, rather than how Apple wants me to use it.A Cool Tool for Enhancing Photos and Wallpapers
Spatial Scenes is the «wow» factor that pushes iOS 26 customization to the top as its most impressive feature. It even beats Android’s Cinematic Wallpapers, thanks to its more dynamic motion and lifelike quality. The eye-popping holograph effect complements the translucent new Liquid Glass elements, making your Home and Lock Screens look spectacular. If you love personalizing your phone, download iOS 26 and give Spatial Scenes a try. I’ve been hooked since installing the new mobile operating system and don’t see an end to my 3D photo creation. And I’m eager to see how Apple expands upon the image-enhancing technology in the future.

One thing after another.
I’ve only played about five hours of Baby Steps, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned during that time, it’s that you always need to have complete visibility over where Nate is putting his feet. Since this is a «walking simulator» and this logic applies to real life too, it may seem overly obvious. And it might be. Maybe I’m an idiot, but I know I’m not alone in that.
Baby Steps is played from a third-person perspective and it lets you change whether the camera is oriented to the left or right of Nate. But during the trickier traversal scenarios, such as when you’re navigating a very narrow bridge or even something as thin as a tightrope, I found that it was basically essential to train that camera on Nate’s feet via a top -down perspective. Just seeing Nate’s legs is not enough!
Just like this (thanks to Morgan Park for the video):
In other words, don’t just let the camera languish on Nate’s butt. Move it around, but especially move it up.
The physics in Baby Steps are detailed and fun to mess with, but even when you’re just walking along seemingly safe surfaces, a simple obscurely placed rock can send you tumbling. It’s fine to fall—sometimes in Baby Steps you have to fall—but during circumstances when you know that a fall is going to carve hours worth of progress off your odyssey, then let me repeat: get that camera into a top-down perspective.
You’ll quickly learn that Nate’s capable of some pretty amazing climbing feats that would normally be out of reach for a 35-year-old slob. Knowing exactly where you’re placing either of your two feet is pretty essential for all of ’em, along with some complex (and illogical) approaches to momentum that I am very far from mastering at this point.
