Amy’s Kitchen is recalling more than 180,000 cans of soup sold in more than 20 states and parts of Canada because of a defect that could increase the risk of spoilage.
In a statement to USA TODAY, Amy’s Kitchen said the voluntary recall affects 15,530 cases (a case contains 12 cans) of the company’s Organic Lentil Soup − Light in Sodium.
In the same statement, the company said the recall was done “out of an abundance of caution to ensure the high quality of its products.” It said no other products are involved.
According to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration enforcement report posted July 14, the recall began June 22.
Where Was the Recalled Soup Sold?
According to the same enforcement report, the soup was sold in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Maine, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
The soups have a best-by date of April 2027 with the lot number 60D0924.
From Soup to Glass
The soup recall comes days after the FDA posted another voluntary recall of more than 730,000 Pillsbury rolls sold to Walmart because they could contain pieces of glass.
The recall posted July 13 said General Mills on June 19, recalled 3,800 cases of Pillsbury Bread Rolls Hard Roll Dough and 1,260 cases of Pillsbury Bread Rolls Kaiser Roll Dough. The rolls may contain “potential foreign material (glass),” the notice reads.
The dough – sold to Walmart, which makes the rolls to sell in its bakeries – was recalled in 19 states where it was distributed. Any baked rolls were removed from bakery shelves, General Mills said.
