National Safety Recalls - Aug. 14
FDA has posted a new Listeria food recall and there are assorted recalls closing out the week.
Walmart Marketside tomato bisque — possible Listeria
Kettle Cuisine is recalling 3,240 packages of Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kit sold exclusively at selected Walmart stores because testing indicated possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
Look for:
- Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kit
- 14 oz.
- UPC 194346474004
- Use-by date August 22, 2026
The soup was distributed to Walmart stores in numerous states, including California, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and others. No illnesses had been confirmed when the recall was announced. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
Listeria can be especially dangerous for pregnant people, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. Consumers should not eat the soup and should discard it or return it for a refund. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
Also worth noting
CPSC’s August 13 batch also includes 8,981 DUMOS nine-drawer dressers that can tip over onto children; 1,750 Deli Jerry fuel containers lacking child-resistant closures; 1,050 Yamazuki youth ATVs with parking-brake, speed-limiter and visibility defects; mattresses that fail federal flammability requirements; carbon bicycle forks that can cause crashes; and electric pressure washers lacking required GFCI protection. (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission)
FDA also posted a Whole Foods recall involving guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo and prepared foods containing jalapeños associated with the ongoing Salmonella investigation. Those products were sold in 12 states and carry Best Before/By dates running as late as August 16, so some may still be in refrigerators. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
