Amy’s Kitchen has initiated a voluntary recall of more than 180,000 cans of its Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium due to a defect that may increase the risk of spoilage. The recall affects approximately 15,530 cases, with each case containing 12 cans. This action was taken as a precaution to maintain the company’s product quality, and no other Amy’s Kitchen products are reportedly involved.
The recalled soup carries a best-by date of April 2027 and the lot number 60D0924. It was distributed in over 20 U.S. states, including 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. Additionally, some products reached parts of Canada. The recall began on June 22, according to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enforcement report posted on July 14.
Customers who have purchased the affected product are advised to dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase. Amy’s Kitchen emphasized the voluntary recall was carried out out of an abundance of caution, underscoring its commitment to product safety. The company has not reported any illnesses or adverse reactions linked to the soup.
This recall comes shortly after another significant voluntary recall announced by the FDA involving Pillsbury bread rolls sold by Walmart. General Mills, the producer of the dough used to bake the rolls, recalled 3,800 cases of Pillsbury Bread Rolls Hard Roll Dough and 1,260 cases of Pillsbury Bread Rolls Kaiser Roll Dough on June 19. These products were pulled from markets in 19 states following concerns that the dough might contain pieces of glass. Walmart has since removed any affected baked rolls from its bakery shelves.
Both incidents highlight ongoing efforts by food manufacturers and regulatory agencies to prevent contaminated or defective food products from reaching consumers. The FDA continues to monitor these recalls and advises consumers to stay informed about food safety alerts.
