Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 24-ounce plastic cups of Whole Foods Market Kitchens Birria-Inspired Beef Soup with Hominy are being recalled because they may actually contain plant-based chicken noodle soup. The plant-based soup contains sesame, a known allergen, which is not listed on the product label. Consumers who have these products in their refrigerators should not eat them and should return them to the store for a full refund or throw them away.

Risk

The product contains sesame, an allergen not declared on the label, which can cause serious or life-threatening allergic reactions in people with a sesame allergy or sensitivity.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator for 24-oz. plastic cups of Whole Foods Market Kitchens Birria-Inspired Beef Soup with Hominy with a 'USE BY 01/02/24' date and lot code 11183.
