Soup Recalled Due to Mismatched Top and Side Label Causing Undeclared Allergen Issue

USDA-FSIS is issuing a public health alert for ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken soup products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The products contain wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.  The product was sold at Alberstons Grocery chain in Texas, Utah, and Washington.

The product had Signature SELECT Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice SOUP with White Meat Chicken” on the lid and labeled “Signature SELECT Chicken Corn CHOWDER with White Meat Chicken Smoke Flavor Added” on the side of the cup.  The problem was discovered by a retailer after a store employee identified “Signature SELECT Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice SOUP with White Meat Chicken” product bearing the correct top label but incorrect side label. The retailer reported the issue to the producing establishment, and the establishment notified FSIS.

WASHINGTON, May 22, 2025 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken soup products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The products contain wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

Louisiana Establishment Recalled RTE Smoked Andouille Sausage After USDA Testing Finds Listeria

Bourgeois Smokehouse, a Thibodaux, La., establishment, is recalling approximately 100 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) smoked andouille sausage products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes.  The problem was discovered after FSIS performed routine product testing of the RTE andouille sausage produced by Bourgeois Smokehouse and confirmed those products positive for Listeria monocytogenes.

While this recall is limited to the one lot that USDA tested, we know that these recalls can expand if USDA determines that the establishment does not have a effective Listeria control program, which is often the case.  If Listeria is present on the product, it is likely present in the processing environment as a persistent type of contamination.
