A Public Health Alert Has Been Issued for This Iconic Soup Brand—Here's What to Know
Our ultra-cool neighbors started a tradition a few months ago called Soup Sundays, where once a month we get together with friends and share a warm, comforting bowl of soup. It's become an event that we always look forward to, and every time the soup is more delicious than the last. 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.

USDA Warns of Wood Contamination in Campbell's and Other Frozen Soups
There's something extra in the soup—and it's not seasoning. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for 13 varieties of frozen soup and bowl meals due to possible contamination with foreign material. The FSIS says wood pieces could be found in the cilantro used in these products. Read on to find out which items are affected, how to identify them in your freezer, and what steps you should take if you have one of the affected products. To clarify, the FSIS has not issued a formal recall for these products. However, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) initiated a recall for the cilantro ingredient used in the said products after it was found to contain wood fragments. That discovery led the FSIS to issue a public health alert and launch a deeper investigation, as the affected soup and bowl meals may still be stored in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. The alert currently applies to select batches of products from Campbell's, Campbell's-owned Verve, Health Request, Life Cuisine, Molly's Kitchen, Sysco, and Crafted Market. FSIS notes that this may only be the beginning—more products could be added as the investigation continues, and additional updates are expected. For now, only the following items are included in the alert: Campbell's Chicken Tortilla Soup: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date October 24th, 2026, and December 15th, 2026 Campbell's Soup Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date October 7th, 2026, and November 3rd, 2026 Campbell's Wicked Thai Soup: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date October 1st, 2026 Health Request Mexican Chicken Tortilla: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date October 27th, 2026 Life Cuisine Vital Pursuit Southwest Style Taco Bowl: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date March 2026 and April 2026 (no specific day provided) Molly's Kitchen Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date October 7th, 2026, October 28th, 2026, December 11th, 2026 Molly's Kitchen Chicken Chili: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date October 9th, 2026 Molly's Kitchen Chicken Enchilada Soup: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date October 28th, 2026, November 10th, 2026, and December 11th, 2026 Molly's Kitchen Mexican Chicken Tortilla: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date November 13th, 2026 Sysco Chicken Tortilla Soup: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date November 10th, 2026 Verve Spicy Chicken Nacho Soup: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date October 7th, 2026, and November 3rd, 2026 Verve Wicked Thai Soup: Establishment Number P-17644; Use By/Sell By Date October 7th, 2026 Crafted Market Coconut Chicken Thai Style Soup: Establishment Number CA-711 Lot Number: 1 05025 BBD; Use By/Sell By Date May 21st, 2025 Lot: 1 05825 BBD; Use By/Sell By Date May 29th, 2025 Lot: 1 06325 BBD; Use By/Sell By Date June 3rd, 2025 Lot: 1 03425 BBD; Use By/Sell By Date May 5th, 2025 To help you further identify these products, their label images can be found here. Some of the impacted products were made for food service and distributed exclusively to restaurants and institutions, but others reached grocery store shelves. The affected items' distribution has been limited to four states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. However, with the FSIS anticipating more additions, this health alert could soon expand nationwide. If you have any of the products included in this health alert, do not consume them. Dispose of the items immediately or return them to the store where you purchased them for a full refund. Consuming frozen soup products with cilantro contaminated with wood could present a variety of health risks, including: Choking Hazard: Pieces of wood, depending on their size and shape, could pose a choking risk, especially for children, elderly individuals, or anyone with difficulty swallowing. Larger or sharper wood fragments could block the airway or cause severe choking. Oral or Gastrointestinal Injury: Wood fragments, especially if sharp or brittle, could cause cuts or abrasions in the mouth, throat, or digestive tract, potentially leading to pain, bleeding, or even more serious injuries like punctures. Contamination with Harmful Pathogens: Wood can harbor bacteria, mold, or other microorganisms that might be present on the wood's surface. If these pathogens are transferred to the cilantro or the soup, they could cause foodborne illnesses, such as food poisoning, leading to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach cramps. Allergic Reactions: While cilantro itself is not typically an allergen, the wood could contain substances or chemicals that may trigger an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals, leading to symptoms like itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Chemical Contaminants: If the wood has been treated with chemicals (e.g., preservatives, pesticides, or other industrial treatments), these chemicals could contaminate the cilantro and the soup, posing a risk to health if ingested. To avoid these risks, it is important to follow the FSIS health alert's recommendations to dispose of or return the affected products. Read the original article on GEEKSPIN.

However, the products may still be in consumers' refridgerators or freezers.
