Amy’s Kitchen withdraws almost 200,000 cans of soup from the market due to risk of spoilage

On July 23, 2026, Amy’s Kitchen announced the recall of a significant quantity of its Organic Lentil Soup – Light Sodium product, impacting consumers across the country. The preventive measure aims to ensure food safety due to a potential risk of spoilage of soup cans, which could cause serious health risks.

More than 15 thousand boxes of Organic Lentil Soup – Light Sodium, each containing 12 units, were withdrawn from circulation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported that the cause is linked to a “potential deterioration” of the product.

A spokesperson for Amy’s Kitchen revealed that the fundamental problem lies in a defect in the can lids, which compromises the integrity of the contents and the conservation of the food.

“The defect may cause product deterioration, and the decision was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure the quality and safety of our products,” the spokesperson said.

Although the recall was initiated by the FDA in June, its classification was upgraded to Class II. This category, according to the agency, indicates that the consumption or use of the items may represent a serious risk to the health of consumers, justifying the urgency of removing them from the market.

States and region of Canada affected by soup recall

The affected batches of the product were distributed in several US 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. In addition, some regions of Canada also received the units in question.

Amy’s Kitchen clarified that no other products in its line were impacted by this specific recall, limiting the action to low-sodium lentil soup.

Other foods are also the target of recent recalls

At the same time, General Mills recalled almost 736,000 Pillsbury bread rolls, also beginning in June, due to concerns about consumer safety.

The FDA, in a July statement, specified that Pillsbury’s affected products are Hard Roll Dough and Kaiser Roll Dough. More than 3,000 boxes of Hard Roll Dough (180 units) and 1,260 boxes of Kaiser Roll Dough (144 units) were included in the measure.

These bread rolls were sold in large volumes, primarily intended for commercial establishments and not for individual consumers, according to information on the General Mills website.

The FDA notification indicated that the reason for the recall was the “potential presence of foreign material (glass),” with no further details available at the time of publication.

Millions of eggs are withdrawn from the market due to Salmonella risk

A third recall case involved almost 1.6 million dozen cage-free white and brown eggs. These eggs, produced by Midwest Poultry Services in Texas, presented a risk of Salmonella Enteritidis contamination.

Distribution occurred to Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, as well as Brookshire Grocery locations in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Mississippi. The company suspended shipments from its Texas farms during the recall process.

To date, no human illness has been associated with the consumption of recalled eggs.
