LYFE Kitchen Sweet Corn Chowder Recalled for Incorrect Packaging Sleeve

LYFE Kitchen is recalling Sweet Corn Chowder because some containers were packaged in sleeves labeled for Orange Carrot Ginger Soup. The product itself is correctly labeled.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text indicates the issue is a packaging labeling error where the product identity remains visible, fitting the criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk contamination.
