Kettle Cuisine has issued a recall of its Whole Foods Market Kitchen Minestrone Soup due to a potential health risk to customers with shrimp allergies. The recall was initiated after it was discovered in-store that a single cup of soup contained the incorrect product, which included shrimp.
The affected soup is packaged in 24-oz clear plastic containers and was sold in stores and online through Whole Foods and Amazon. The recall applies to products with Lot Code 1762181, Use By Date of 05/27/26, and UPC identifier 099482502065.
Customers who have purchased the recalled soup are advised to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. No illnesses have been reported so far, and the FDA has confirmed that no other soups or use-by codes are involved in the recall.
The recall affects 17 states and Washington D.C., including Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
People with shrimp allergies may experience hives, itchy skin, swelling of the lips or tongue, and stomach upset. Severe reactions can be life-threatening, and medical attention should be sought immediately if symptoms develop.
