USDA FSIS: Public Health Alert

What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (wheat) with no reported illnesses, which corresponds to a High severity score of 3 per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for ready-to-eat chicken soup products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The affected products contain wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. FSIS issued this alert to ensure consumers with wheat allergies are aware that these products should not be consumed. A formal recall was not requested because the affected products are no longer available for purchase.
The affected items are 24-oz. plastic cups labeled “Signature SELECT Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice SOUP with White Meat Chicken” on the lid and “Signature SELECT Chicken Corn CHOWDER with White Meat Chicken Smoke Flavor Added” on the side. These products bear establishment number P-46381, were produced on April 10, 2025, and have a “BEST BY June 24 25” date with lot code “8225 5100.” The items were shipped to retail and distributor locations nationwide.
The issue was discovered by a retailer after a store employee identified a product with the correct top label but an incorrect side label. The retailer reported the issue to the producing establishment, which then notified FSIS. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to serve, sell, or consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions should contact Albertsons Companies’ Customer Service Center at 1-877-723-3929.
