Trader Joe’s Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup May Contain Insects
The soup has been recalled in seven states
Unexpected to say the least. Trader Joe’s is recalling 10,889 cases of its Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup because there may be insects in the frozen broccoli used to make the product, according to the Food and Drug Administration. There have been no health issues reported.
In a statement, the grocery chain said that it was notified of the problem by its supplier, Winter Gardens Quality Foods. The soup was shipped to Trader Joe’s stores in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. Winter Gardens Quality Foods did not immediately reply to CR’s request for more information.
All of the soup has been removed from store shelves and destroyed, but consumers may still have it in their refrigerators. The “use by” dates are from 7/18/2023 to 9/15/2023. The soups are marked with lot codes 383, 384, 385, 390, 391, 392, 397, 398, 405, 406, 425, 426, 431, 433, or 442.
