Health Alert Expands as Wood Found in Cilantro Used in Institutional Soups

FSIS warns of potential contamination in food-service soups across the Midwest, with investigations ongoing and more products possibly implicated.

The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a nationwide health alert after wood fragments were discovered in cilantro used in soups and bowl products.
Affected brands include Campbell’s, Molly’s Kitchen, Health Request, Life Cuisine, Sysco, Verve, and Crafted Market, with products distributed to institutions in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.
Campbell’s clarified that the impacted soups are food-service varieties and not retail products sold in stores.
Consumers and institutions are advised to discard or return the affected products, with detailed product listings available on the FSIS website.
Federal officials anticipate that additional products could be added to the recall list as investigations continue, potentially broadening the scope of the alert.
