Kettle Cuisine recalls 3,240 Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kits sold at select Walmart stores across 29 states over possible Listeria contamination after routine testing.
Kettle Cuisine LLC is recalling more than 3,000 Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kits sold exclusively at select Walmart stores because of possible Listeria contamination, according to a company announcement posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The recall covers 3,240 14-ounce Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kits with UPC 194346474004 and a use-by date of Aug. 22, 2026. The products were distributed from June 30 through July 7 to select Walmart stores across 29 states.
Kettle Cuisine initiated the recall after routine company testing produced a presumptive positive result for Listeria monocytogenes, according to the announcement. The company said it is continuing to investigate in coordination with the FDA.
No illnesses associated with the recalled soup have been confirmed, the company said.
FOX Business reached out to Kettle Cuisine for additional information about the testing, whether the presumptive positive result has been confirmed and whether additional products or lots are being tested.
FOX Business also reached out to Walmart for comment, including whether all affected products have been removed from store shelves and how the retailer is notifying customers who may have purchased the recalled soup.
The affected products were distributed to select Walmart stores in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Vermont, Wisconsin and West Virginia.
Consumers should not eat, serve, sell or distribute the recalled soup, according to the announcement. They should dispose of the product or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms including fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Infection can also cause miscarriage and stillbirth in pregnant women, according to the recall notice.
Consumers should not rely on the product's smell or appearance to determine whether it is safe, the announcement said. People who handle the recalled soup should wash their hands and clean and sanitize refrigerators, freezers, containers, utensils, countertops and other surfaces that may have come into contact with it.
Anyone who ate the recalled product and develops symptoms of listeriosis should contact a healthcare provider, according to the announcement.
