Walmart recalls soup kits over Listeria contamination risk
New York Post • • business
Key Points:
- Kettle Cuisine LLC is voluntarily recalling over 3,000 Marketside 14oz Tomato Bisque Soup Kits sold at Walmart due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination, with products distributed between June 30 and July 7 across 29 states.
- The recalled soup kits have UPC 194346474004 and an expiration date of August 22, 2026; consumers are advised not to eat, serve, sell, or distribute the product and to either dispose of it or return it to Walmart for a refund.
- No confirmed illnesses have been reported so far, but the FDA warns that Listeria contamination may not be detectable by smell or appearance, and recommends thorough cleaning of surfaces and hands after handling the product.
- Listeriosis, caused by Listeria bacteria, can lead to mild symptoms in healthy individuals but poses serious health risks to pregnant women, young children, elderly adults, and those with weakened immune systems, including potentially life-threatening complications.
- Consumers experiencing symptoms after consuming the soup are urged to contact a healthcare provider, and questions can be directed to Kettle Cuisine's hotline at 617-409-1104.
