If you’ve recently purchased premade soups or stews, it’s time to double-check your pantry and refrigerator.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued two separate recalls involving:
- Mislabeled chicken soups with undeclared wheat allergen
- Beef stew possibly contaminated with pieces of wood
These products were sold at major grocery retailers including Albertsons, Wegmans, Safeway, Tom Thumb, Randalls, and others across multiple U.S. states.
Chicken Soup: Mislabeled and Allergen Risk
The first recall involves 24-ounce cups of Signature SELECT Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup, which were mislabeled as Signature SELECT Chicken Corn Chowder.

- Albertsons
- Safeway
- Tom Thumb
- Randalls
- Lucky stores
The states impacted are Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
