A Public Health Alert Has Been Issued for This Iconic Soup Brand—Here's What to Know
Even with warmer weather on the horizon, we always look forward to spooning hearty, brothy spoonfuls of black eyed pea soup with collard greens and sausage or beef stew into our bowls and relaxing in the company of what I affectionately like to call framily. Maybe it's the way you can taste the love infused with every bite or just the camaraderie of sharing a meal with loved ones, but it's a tradition I hope never goes away.
😋😋🍳🍔Best of all, each artfully prepared soup or stew is made from scratch, without any extra ingredients that could potentially ruin the dish. Unfortunately, we can't say the same for a recently produced batch of soups that have just been flagged due to contamination with wood pieces from cilantro.
The USDA issued a health alert for 13 frozen soup and bowl products across a variety of brands, including popular favorite, Campbell's. While the affected products haven't been officially recalled, it's worth mentioning that they could be in your fridge or freezer, so it's best to tread with caution.
The lengthy and growing list includes: Campbell's Chicken Tortilla Soup, Campbell's Soup Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup, Campbell's Wicked Thai Soup, Health Request Mexican Chicken Tortilla, Life Cuisine Vital Pursuit Southwest Style Taco Bowl, Molly's Kitchen Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup, Molly's Kitchen Chicken Chili, Molly's Kitchen Chicken Enchilada Soup, Molly's Kitchen Mexican Chicken Tortilla, Sysco Chicken Tortilla Soup, Verve Spicy Chicken Nacho Soup, Verve Wicked Thai Soup, and Crafted Market Coconut Chicken Thai Style Soup.
It's worth mentioning that some of the brands listed are food service specific brands, however, the others were distributed in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. You can check out a detailed list of label images and lot codes here. Looks like we'll just have to wait until Soup Sunday to get our soup fix in.

Possible metal found in ground beef: Michigan company issues recall across 5 states
A Michigan-based meat company recalled more than 1,000 pounds of fully cooked ground beef after a customer reported finding pieces of metal in the product, it said in a release. Ada Valley Meat Company on Tuesday said recalled products were shipped to businesses and distributors across five states: California, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The affected items came in 20-pound boxes containing four 5-pound bags of "Ada Valley Fully Cooked Ground Beef" from specific lots -- pack date May 28 with lot code 35156 and pack date May 30 with lot code 35157 -- the company said. The products subject to recall also bear establishment number "EST. 10031" inside the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) mark of inspection, it said. While no injuries have been reported, food safety officials are concerned that some of the recalled products might still be in institutional freezers, Ada Valley noted. "We are taking this step out of an abundance of caution and in line with our core value: the safety and trust of our customers come first," Gerrit Rozeboom, the company's president, said in a statement sent to ABC News.

Ham salad products recalled due to possible listeria: USDA
Two popular ham salad products have been recalled due to possible listeria contamination in one of the ingredients, breadcrumbs, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service. Newly Weds Foods announced it is recalling Reser's Fine Foods Ham Salad and Molly's Kitchen Ham Salad, the products in question. 'The problem was discovered when Reser's Fine Foods, Inc., a Topeka, Kansas, establishment, determined that they used FDA-regulated breadcrumb products subject to an FDA recall because the breadcrumbs may be contaminated with [listeria monocytogenes],' the agency said in a press release. It's just the latest recall announcement tied to Reser's Fine Foods products made with potentially tainted bread crumbs. Albertsons recently announced a pair of recalls linked to tuna salad products made with breadcrumbs. The states included in those announcements were Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Thus far, there have been no confirmed reports of anyone getting ill from consuming the products. Anybody who consumes food contaminated with listeria is at risk of listeriosis, a serious infection that affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and their babies.
