Walmart tomato soup kits recalled over Listeria contamination risk, FDA says

The FDA said a Maryland-based manufacturer is recalling 3,240 Marketside Marketside tomato soup kits sold at some Walmart stores because tests found potential Listeria contamination. The recall covers kits distributed exclusively to Walmart locations in 29 states between June 30 and July 7, with the notice issued Wednesday. Walmart did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The FDA said Kettle Cuisine, the maker, has received no confirmed reports of illnesses linked to the product. Consumers are advised to wash hands after handling it, clean any surfaces it touched, and either throw it away or return it to the store for a refund. The FDA cautioned not to judge safety by smell or appearance.
