Amy’s Kitchen Recalls Over 180,000 Cans of Organic Lentil Soup Due to Pull-Tab Defect

Amy’s Kitchen has issued a voluntary recall of its Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium after a manufacturing defect in the cans’ easy-open pull tabs was identified. The defect could allow the product to spoil before the “best-by” date. The recall applies only to cans marked with lot number 60D0924 and a best-by date of April 2027.

The company emphasized that no other Amy’s products or lot numbers are involved and that customers may return the recalled cans to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The pull-tab defect could compromise the seal, creating a risk of spoilage in a product that is otherwise shelf-stable. Because the soup’s best-by date extends to 2027, many households may still have unopened cans. Consumers who purchased the soup at major chains such as Target, Walmart, Kroger, Sprouts (California) and Hy-Vee (Midwest) should inspect their pantry for the specific lot number and best-by date. If a can matches those markings, the recommendation is to set it aside and seek a refund rather than consume the product.

One source lists the recall as covering 27 states, while another mentions 28 states, adding Michigan to the roster. The discrepancy has not been resolved in the available reports, and no official clarification has been issued regarding the exact state count. Additionally, while the FDA classification is confirmed, the agency has not released detailed testing results for the defective pull tabs.
