The affected products were shipped to food service distributors in Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont. There have been no confirmed reports of illness or adverse health effects associated with the consumption of these products.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled soup are urged not to consume it. The product should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS and the company are concerned that some of the recalled product may still be in food service distribution refrigerators.
