NC Firm Recalls Soup Product After Labeling Mix-up Results in Undeclared Milk Issue

Bakkavor USA of Charlotte, North Carolina, is initiating a recall of 16-ounce Meal Simple brand Red Lentil Dal Soup, BEST BY 1/11/2026 as it contains undeclared milk.   The recall was initiated after a consumer notified the firm that the product in the container labeled as Meal Simple Red Lentil Dal Soup was a poultry and rice soup. After an internal investigation it was discovered that Meal Simple Turkey & Wild Rice Soup contains milk as an ingredient.

TBC Distribution Corporate of Brooklyn, NY is recalling Lucky Foods brand Cinnamon Powder 40g, best before date 15.09.2027 because it has the potential to be contaminated with elevated levels of lead. The recall was the result of an analysis conducted by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSAGM) that revealed the product contained elevated levels of lead.

Lucky Foods brand Cinnamon Powder was distributed to retailers such as, grocery stores, convenience stores, super markets, deli’s, bakeries, and restaurants located in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas between 04/11/2025 and 09/01/2025.
