Walmart Issues Chicken Broth Recall Due to Mislabeling and Potential Allergen Risks

Walmart has issued a recall on its Great Value Chicken Broth, citing concerns over mislabeling and potential health risks. Initially announced on January 13, 2023, the recall pertains to a specific production run of 32-ounce containers of Great Value Chicken Broth packaged by TreeHouse Foods. The broth may contain undeclared allergens—specifically, wheat and soy—that could pose serious health risks for individuals with sensitivities or allergies to these ingredients. Customers are urged to check their pantry for products with the affected Lot#J0450, which corresponds to expiration dates of ‘Best By’ October 4, 2024. As part of the recall, Walmart is providing full refunds to consumers who purchased the affected product. TreeHouse Foods has assured consumers that the product in question was shipped only to select Walmart stores across several states, including Texas, Virginia, and California. No illnesses have been reported at this time, and the company is working closely with the FDA to ensure consumer safety. Affected customers can return the product for a refund or dispose of it safely. TreeHouse Foods expressed their commitment to quality and safety by stating, ‘We take this matter very seriously and are actively working to ensure this issue does not happen again.’ In light of this precautionary measure, consumers are advised to remain vigilant and report any adverse reactions to authorities immediately.
