WASHINGTON—The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for contaminated soup and bowl products containing wood in cilantro, an FDA-regulated ingredient. The contamination is due to an FDA-regulated ingredient, cilantro, which may contain foreign material.
The affected products include several varieties of soup and bowl products from Campbell’s, Health Request, Life Cuisine, Molly’s Kitchen, Sysco, and Verve (see labels here, see full list here). FSIS is concerned about product in consumers’ and institutional refrigerators or freezers.
The FSIS became aware of the contamination when an FSIS establishment notified them of the recall of an FDA-regulated ingredient due to foreign material. Consumers who have purchased these products should not consume them, and institutions should not serve them. The products should be discarded or returned.
The FSIS will continue to monitor the situation and update its list of affected products as necessary. Consumers and media are advised to check the FSIS website frequently for any updates.
