Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kit Recall (Walmart): Possible Listeria — Check the Use-By Date
An FDA recall is asking shoppers to check a specific Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kit sold at Walmart because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The key step: confirm the kit’s UPC and the use-by date before you decide what to do with it.
Act first: do not eat the affected kit. Instead, the FDA notice advises consumers to dispose of it or return it for a refund.
What product is being recalled?
Kettle Cuisine LLC is recalling the Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kit (14 oz / 397 g). The FDA notice indicates it was sold exclusively at Walmart stores (distribution details are included in the FDA posting).
How to identify the affected kit (UPC + use-by date)
Before you toss anything—or keep something—look for the UPC and the use-by date on the package. This recall is tied to the specific identifier details listed by FDA.
Use-by date to check: 8/22/26.
UPC: Match the UPC shown in the FDA recall notice to the label on your kit. If your kit’s UPC and use-by date match the FDA listing, it’s part of this recall.
Important: Don’t assume all Marketside soup kits are affected. Verify by UPC and the use-by date only.
What to do now (FDA’s consumer action)
Per the FDA recall notice:
- Do not eat the affected kit.
- Dispose of it or return it for a refund.
If you have the kit in your pantry or fridge, treat it like a “do not use” item until you confirm it matches the recall identifiers.
Cleanup at home: reduce the chance of cross-contamination
If you opened the packaging or handled the kit before checking the label, use these practical steps:
- Set the kit aside and keep it away from ready-to-eat foods.
- Wipe down counters, cabinet fronts, or any surface that may have touched the kit packaging.
- Wash hands with soap and water after handling the product.
- Avoid reusing utensils or cookware that touched the kit.
FDA’s posting includes additional guidance on cleaning and preventing spread; follow the instructions there for the most accurate steps for your situation.
If you already ate some
The FDA notice emphasizes that this is possible contamination. If you (or someone you’re caring for) already consumed the product, the most cautious next step is to contact a healthcare provider for advice, especially if you are in a higher-risk group.
Extra attention is important for: pregnant people, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems—groups where Listeria risk is taken more seriously.
Watch for any concerning symptoms and seek medical guidance as appropriate (your healthcare provider can help you decide what to do next).
Check your kitchen now (pantry, fridge, and freezer)
Even if the kit is sitting in a less-used spot, it’s worth a quick scan:
- Check your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer areas where soup kits might be stored.
- Verify UPC and the use-by date—this recall is tied to the 8/22/26 use-by date listed by FDA.
