WASHINGTON — The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on May 22 for ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken soup products due to misbranding.
The products contain wheat, a known allergen that was not declared on the product label.
A recall was not requested because the chicken soup items are no longer available for purchase.
The following RTE items, produced on April 10, 2025, are subject to the public health alert:
- 24-oz plastic cups labeled “Signature SELECT Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice SOUP with White Meat Chicken” on the lid and labeled “Signature SELECT Chicken Corn CHOWDER with White Meat Chicken Smoke Flavor Added” on the side of the cup with a “BEST BY June 24 25” and lot code “8225 5100” printed on the bottom of the cup.
The products bear the establishment number “P-46381” inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to retail and distributor locations in Texas, Utah and Washington.
The problem was discovered by a retailer after a store employee noticed the soup product bore the correct top label but an incorrect side label. The retailer reported the issue to the manufacturer who then notified FSIS.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, according to FSIS.
