Amy’s Kitchen Recalls 184,000+ Cans of Soup Over Can Defect

When many foods are recalled, it is often due to bacteria. However, a recent recall involved defective soup cans.

Amy’s Kitchen is recalling more than 184,000 cans of soup sold across more than 20 states and parts of Canada because of a manufacturing defect that could cause the product to spoil.

The voluntary recall affects approximately 15,350 cases of Amy’s Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium. It involves a defect with the can’s easy-open pull tab. The defect could compromise the product and potentially cause the soup to spoil.

Amy’s Kitchen initiated the recall on June 22, 2026, and the recall remains ongoing. The company said it made the decision to recall the affected products out of an abundance of caution to protect consumers and maintain product quality and safety. No other Amy’s Kitchen products or lot numbers are included in the recall.

Recalls Involving Soup Can Defects

Soup and other canned foods may be recalled when defects in the container could compromise the product’s safety or quality. Problems can occur during manufacturing, sealing, handling or transportation.

Common can defects that may lead to recalls include:

• Damaged seams: A defective seam can allow air, bacteria or other contaminants to enter the can.
• Improperly sealed cans: A faulty seal can compromise the can’s protective barrier and increase the risk of spoilage.
• Damaged pull tabs: Defective easy-open tabs may affect the integrity of the can or make it difficult to open safely.
• Bulging cans: Swelling can indicate gas production caused by microbial growth and may signal potentially dangerous contamination.
• Leaking cans: Leaks can indicate that the container’s seal has been compromised.
• Dents or punctures: Significant damage can create openings or weaken the container, potentially allowing contamination.
• Manufacturing defects: Problems during production can affect the can’s ability to properly protect its contents.
