The Food Safety Inspection Service issued a public health alert for various soup products after detecting pieces of wood among a key ingredient.

The public health alert was issued when inspectors learned that a batch of cilantro was being recalled after it was discovered to contain pieces of wood. That cilantro was shipped out to a number of companies that make various pre-made soup products.

Here are the following products currently listed in the alert:

All listed products, save for the last one on the list, have an establishment number of P-17644, while the Crafted Market product has a number of CA-711. The Sell-by dates range from May 2025 through December 2026.

The affected products were shipped to Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, but FSIS anticipates other products may be added to the growing list, resulting in nationwide impacts.

A spokesperson for The Campbell's Company wrote to FOX 13 News, saying these items are "foodservice varieties of soup sold in restaurants and other institutions" and "are not sold on retail shelves in cans or bowls."

Consumers who purchase the products are advised to throw them away or return them to the store where they bought it. At time of reporting, no illness nor injuries have been reported.
