Walmart tomato bisque soup recalled over possible Listeria contamination
Key Points:
- Kettle Cuisine LLC is recalling 3,240 units of Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kits sold exclusively at select Walmart stores due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination, with a use-by date of August 22, 2026.
- The recalled products were distributed between June 30 and July 7 across 29 states, including Arkansas, California, New York, Texas, and others.
- The recall was initiated after routine company testing showed a presumptive positive for Listeria, though no illnesses have been confirmed to date; the company is investigating further in coordination with the FDA.
- Consumers are advised not to consume, serve, sell, or distribute the recalled soup and should either dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
- Listeria infection can be serious, especially for vulnerable groups such as young children, older adults, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems; anyone experiencing symptoms after consuming the product should seek medical attention.
