USDA FSIS issued a public health alert for Kirkland Signature Chicken Tortilla Soup labeled as gluten-free but containing gluten. No illnesses have been reported.
What this means for you
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 (gluten) on a ready-to-eat product, which fits the rubric criterion for 'Allergen mislabeling on common allergens' and 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for Kirkland Signature Chicken Tortilla Soup with White Chicken Meat. The product is a ready-to-eat item produced on July 26, 2023, by Kettle Cuisine Midco, LLC. The alert was issued because the product is labeled as gluten-free, but laboratory testing confirmed the presence of gluten, constituting a false negative claim.
The affected products are 2-lb. tubs with a "USE BY" date of 11/23/23 and lot code 1394066. These items were shipped to retail locations in Alaska, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. The establishment number P-18468 is printed inside the USDA mark of inspection on the packaging.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. FSIS notes that the products are no longer available for purchase, which is why a formal recall was not requested. Consumers who have these products in their refrigerators or freezers are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
