Ivar's and Pike Place Fish Market Soups Recalled for Potential Spoilage

Agency Publication Date: April 25, 2023

Summary

Ivar's Commissary is issuing a public health alert for various ready-to-eat meat soup products, including Clam Chowder, Loaded Baked Potato, and Zuppa Toscana. The recall was initiated after the manufacturer received consumer complaints about bloated packaging, and subsequent lab testing confirmed high levels of spoilage bacteria. These bacteria can cause the products to spoil prematurely, posing a risk of illness if consumed. The affected soups were sold in 20-oz. cups and 48-oz. double-packs at retail locations nationwide and exported to Mexico.

Risk

The products may have been prepared or held under insanitary conditions, leading to premature spoilage and high levels of spoilage bacteria. Consuming food contaminated with these organisms can cause illness, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems.
