Kettle Cuisine LLC issued a voluntary recall of 3,240 Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kits sold at Walmart stores across 29 U.S. states. The recall was initiated after routine testing yielded a presumptive positive result for Listeria monocytogenes.

The affected products, distributed between June 30 and July 7, 2026, carry a use-by date of August 22, 2026. While no confirmed illnesses have been reported, the FDA and the company have warned that Listeria infection can cause serious health issues, including high fever, nausea, and severe complications for pregnant women, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. The company is investigating the matter in coordination with the FDA.
