Amy’s Kitchen is the latest company to issue a recall notice affecting shoppers around the country.
Over 15,000 12-count cases of the brand’s Organic Lentil Soup – Light Sodium have been recalled due to “potential for spoilage,” according to a notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
A spokesperson for the company told NBC Bay Area that a defect with the lids of the cans was to blame.
“The defect could cause the product to spoil, and the decision was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure the quality and safety of our products,” the spokesperson told the outlet.
The recall was initiated by the FDA in June but has since been upgraded to a Class II, which means that eating or using the items can pose a serious health risk, according to the agency.
Affected cases were distributed in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Maine, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, as well as parts of Canada.
Other Amy’s Kitchen products have not been impacted by the recall. The Independent has contacted Amy’s Kitchen for comment.
The Amy’s Kitchen recall isn’t the only issue plaguing consumers at the moment. Pillsbury bread rolls have been recalled by General Mills over potential glass contamination.
That recall, initiated in June, has affected nearly 736,000 total rolls.
According to a July notice from the FDA, two Pillsbury products have been affected by the recall: Hard Roll Dough and Kaiser Roll Dough. Over 3,000 cases of the 180-count Hard Roll Dough were impacted, while 1,260 cases of the 144-count Kaiser Roll Dough were affected.
The rolls were sold in large quantities, intended for businesses rather than individual consumers, based on a description on the General Mills website.
The FDA’s notice said the recall was initiated due to “potential foreign material (glass).” Further details weren’t immediately available.
Meanwhile, nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs sold across five states are being recalled over fears they could be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis.
The FDA said the recall covers white and brown cage-free shell eggs produced by Midwest Poultry Services in Texas and distributed to Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, along with Brookshire Grocery locations in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Mississippi. The company has halted egg shipments from its Texas farms while the recall is underway.
As of Wednesday, no illnesses had been linked to the recalled eggs.
