Listeria risk prompts recall of soup kit sold at Walmart stores in 29 states, including Illinois

A Maryland-based company is recalling 14-ounce tomato soup kits sold at Walmart stores due to potential contamination with listeria. Federal health officials report that the affected products were distributed in 29 states, including Colorado and Illinois.

The distribution of the recalled soup kits occurred between June 30 and July 7, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While initial reports noted distribution across 29 states, subsequent federal reports also characterized the recall as involving kits sold in stores nationwide.
