Chicago, Illinois — Consumers in Illinois and across much of the United States are being urged to check their pantries after Amy’s Kitchen recalled more than 184,000 cans of its Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium because of a defect that could cause the product to spoil.
The recall, which is listed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), affects a specific batch of the popular organic soup that was distributed to stores in 27 states, including Illinois.
Why Is Amy’s Kitchen Recalling the Soup?
According to the FDA, Amy’s Kitchen, Inc., a California-based company known for its organic food products, initiated the recall on June 22 after identifying a potential spoilage issue involving certain cans of its Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium.
Officials said the defect could increase the risk of the soup spoiling before its expected shelf life. While the recall notice does not mention any reported illnesses or injuries linked to the product, consumers are advised not to consume any affected cans.
The recall remains ongoing as the company works with retailers and regulators.
