Frozen Soups and Bowls Recalled for Potential Contamination With Wood

Cilantro is always a divisive ingredient in food—but now it’s likely even more so: Several types of soup and frozen prepared foods have been recalled because the cilantro included in the foods may be contaminated with wood, according to a USDA report. The foods, which include popular brands like Campbell’s and Healthy Request, were distributed to institutional and retail locations in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.

The USDA expects that the recall will be expanded and will likely include frozen soups and food distributed nationwide. You can keep checking on the USDA website for additional products included in the recall.
