Summary

Hale and Hearty Soups, LLC is recalling approximately 455 pounds (about 194 units) of its ready-to-eat Chicken Chili Soup because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The problem was discovered during routine government testing, though no illnesses have been reported to date. The soup was produced on November 9, 2016, and shipped to food service distributors in five states.

Risk

Eating food contaminated with Listeria can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that can lead to fever, muscle aches, headache, and stiff neck. It is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems, potentially causing miscarriages or life-threatening infections in newborns.

  1. Check your refrigerator for 6.9-lb. bags of CHICKEN CHILI SOUP with an 'Expires:12/09' date and item number 221.
  2. Locate the USDA mark of inspection on the bag to confirm it contains establishment number P-34800.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer at 212-255-2400 Ext. 2025 for further instructions.
  4. If you are at high risk and experience flu-like symptoms within two months of eating this soup, seek medical care immediately and inform your provider about the potential exposure.
