USDA Issues Public Health Alert for Mislabeled Chicken Soup in TX, UT, WA

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for certain ready-to-eat chicken soup products distributed in Texas, Utah, and Washington due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared wheat allergen. The affected soup, produced on April 10, 2025, was mislabeled, with the top lid reading 'Signature SELECT Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup' and the side label stating 'Signature SELECT Chicken Corn Chowder,' resulting in wheat not being declared as an ingredient. No recall was requested since these products are no longer available for purchase, but FSIS urges consumers to check their refrigerators and freezers and to avoid consuming the product if found. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions, but individuals with wheat allergies are advised to discard or return the soup. In a separate incident, Myprotein's double chocolate and caramel gooey filled cookies were recalled in the UK due to undeclared wheat, posing a risk to those with gluten allergies or intolerances. Both incidents highlight ongoing concerns over accurate allergen labeling and food safety for consumers with allergies.
