Campbell’s soups were among the named products; specifically the brand’s Chicken Tortilla Soup, Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup, and Wicked Thai Soup.
Molly’s Kitchen, another popular brand, was also affected. The Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup, Chicken Chili, Chicken Enchilada Soup, and Mexican Chicken Tortilla have all been named in the health alert.

All products, with the exception of the Crafted Market soup, had various 2026 use-by dates. Crafted Market’s soup has a best-by date of May or June 2025. A full list of dates can be found on a federal website.
“These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase,” the FSIS alert stated.
