Amy's recalls one lot of Light in Sodium lentil soup over a can pull-tab defect

If you keep Amy’s Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium in the pantry, this one is worth a look — but the reason is narrower than a lot of recall headlines make it sound.

Amy’s Kitchen is recalling a single lot of its Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium in 14.5-ounce cans. The problem is not the soup’s recipe and not contamination: it is a manufacturing defect in the can’s easy-open pull-tab that could compromise the seal and let the product spoil. Amy’s described the action as taken out of an abundance of caution, and — importantly — no illnesses have been reported.

What kind of recall this is (and isn’t)

This is a container-integrity / spoilage recall, not a contamination one. There is no allergen, no pathogen (like Listeria or Salmonella), and no foreign material involved. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which posted a parallel recall of the same product, describes the issue in exactly those terms — container integrity defects. The worry is simply that a faulty pull-tab can break the can’s seal, and a can that doesn’t stay sealed can spoil.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified the recall Class II. In the FDA’s scale, Class II covers a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences, with a remote probability of serious harm. Because this is canned soup with no meat, it falls under FDA jurisdiction rather than the USDA’s.

One food-safety point worth stating plainly, because it trips people up: reheating does not make spoiled food safe. Some spoilage toxins are heat-stable, so cooking a can that has lost its seal is not a fix. If a can is part of this lot, the answer is not to heat it — it’s to not eat it.

How to tell if your can is affected

Amy’s and the recall notices identify the affected cans by four details. Check all of them:

• Variety: Amy’s Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium (the reduced-sodium lentil soup — not the regular Organic Lentil Soup).
• Size: the 14.5 oz can, sold in cases of 12.
• Lot code: 60D0924.
• Best-by date: April 2027 (printed as 4/2027).
• UPC: 042272005833.

These identifying details — the lot code, the best-by date, and the UPC — are the highest-stakes fields here, and they are easy to misread. Confirm them against the official FDA recall notice before you act. Treat the government notice as the authority over any summary, including this one.

How much is out there, and where

Amy’s initiated the voluntary recall on June 22, 2026; the FDA classified it Class II in mid-July 2026. By the counts in the recall notice, roughly 15,350 cases — about 184,200 cans — are covered. The product was distributed across more than two dozen states (named lists show 27; some headlines say 28), plus the parallel Canadian recall. Retail reporting lists stores including Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, and Wegmans, along with food co-ops. Coverage from NBC Chicago and The Healthy tracks the same details.

We are deliberately not printing a recall number here: it was not cleanly confirmed across the notices, and guessing an ID on a safety story helps no one. The lot code, best-by date, and UPC above are what identify an affected can.

What to do if you have it

The remedy is simple and the same in both countries: don’t eat it. Then either return the can to the store for a full refund or discard it so no one else can eat it. Amy’s Kitchen’s consumer line for questions about the recall is 888-943-4207 (Mon–Fri, 8am–7pm ET).

The checklist below walks through it step by step — confirm your can matches on every point, then, if it does, exactly what to do. The fail-safe on every branch is the same: when in doubt, don’t eat it — return it or discard it.

0 of 14 done

1. Confirm it's the recalled soup (every point must match)

• The variety is Amy's Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium — the reduced-sodium lentil soup, not the regular Organic Lentil Soup or any other Amy's variety.
• It is the 14.5 oz can (sold in cases of 12).
• The lot code on the can reads 60D0924.
• The best-by date is April 2027 (shown as 4/2027).
• The UPC is 042272005833.
• Confirm these details — especially the lot code, the best-by date, and the UPC — against the official FDA recall notice before you act. They are the details most likely to be misread, and the notice is the authority.
• If you are not sure whether your can matches, treat it as if it might: when in doubt, don't eat it — return it or discard it.

2. If every point matches — do not eat it

• Do not eat the soup, even if the can looks and smells normal. The recall is for a defect in the can's easy-open pull-tab that can let the soup spoil.
• Do not try to make it safe by cooking or reheating it. Some spoilage toxins are heat-stable, so heating spoiled food does not reliably make it safe.
• When in doubt, don't eat it — return it or discard it.

3. Return it or throw it away

• Return the can to the store for a full refund, or discard it so that no one can eat it.
• Call Amy's Kitchen consumer line at 888-943-4207 (Mon–Fri, 8am–7pm ET) with questions about the recall or a refund.

4. Confirm on the official notice

• Read the official FDA recall notice for the full, current details and remedy. Treat it as the authority over anything summarized here.Official FDA recalls page ↗
• In Canada, check the CFIA recall notice for the parallel recall of the same soup.CFIA recall notice ↗

How this is calculated

The steps mirror Amy's Kitchen's voluntary recall notice as classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Class II) and the parallel Canadian (CFIA) recall. First, identify the product by variety, can size, lot code, best-by date, and UPC — every point must match. If it matches, the notice describes a defect in the can's easy-open pull-tab that can cause the soup to spoil, so the safe action is not to eat it — and not to try to make it safe by reheating, because some spoilage toxins are heat-stable. Then follow the recall remedy: return the can for a full refund or discard it, and contact Amy's consumer line with questions. Confirm the current details on the official FDA recall notice. No scoring and no model output — the official instructions, in order.
