Plain-English summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for fresh, fully cooked, ready-to-eat ShopRite brand chicken noodle soup. The product was mislabeled; it may actually contain Italian-style wedding soup, which includes milk, a known allergen that is not declared on the label. The affected items are 20-oz. plastic cups labeled “A SHOPRITE BRAND bowl & basket CHICKEN NOODLE soup” with a use-by date of 09/23/23 and establishment number EST. P-18468. These products were produced on August 8, 2023, and shipped to retail locations in New Jersey and New York.

The issue was discovered when a retail store employee found soups labeled as chicken noodle and Italian-style wedding soup in the same shipping box. FSIS notes that no confirmed reports of adverse reactions have been received. Because the products are no longer available for purchase, a formal recall was not requested, but FSIS is concerned that some units may still be in consumers' refrigerators.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The items should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
