More Than 180,000 Cans Of Organic Soup Recalled

Amy’s Kitchen has recalled more than 180,000 cans of its Organic Lentil Soup, Light in Sodium after discovering a manufacturing defect in the cans’ easy-open tabs that could allow the soup to spoil before its best-by date.

The voluntary recall affects a single production lot totaling 184,200 cans distributed across 28 U.S. states and parts of Canada. Amy’s said the recall was issued out of an abundance of caution, and no other products or production lots are affected. 

The recall includes 15,350 cases, with 12 cans per case, totaling 184,200 cans. The states under the recall include: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

What Should Consumers Do?

The recall was first initiated on June 22, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration later classified it as a Class II recall. A Class II recall indicates that exposure to the affected product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, with the likelihood of serious health effects considered remote.

The reported lot number on the recalled Amy’s Organic Soups Light in Sodium Lentil is 60D0924, with 4/2027 expiration. U.S. UPC is 042272005833, while the Canadian UPC is 10042272905833.

Customers who have purchased the recalled soup are urged not to consume it. Amy’s Kitchen advises returning the product to the retailer where it was purchased for a full refund.

While the recall notice does not mention botulism, canned food spoilage is often associated with the risk of the potentially deadly illness. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, botulism is caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

Although cases are extremely rare, the illness can be fatal. The USDA says low-acid foods, including vegetables such as green beans, corn, beets and peas, are at greater risk because the bacteria’s spores can survive in soil and grow in improperly processed canned foods.

The company has not reported any illnesses linked to the recalled soup.
