Walmart Soup Kits Recalled Over Listeria Concerns

San Antonio, TX, August 14, 2026 —

Walmart has initiated a recall of certain soup kits due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.

The specific products affected by the recall are Walmart soup kits. The company has not provided further details regarding the exact types or varieties of soup kits included in this recall, nor has it specified the quantities of the affected products. Consumers are urged to check their refrigerators for these soup kits and to dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn. The bacteria can also cause short-term gastrointestinal illness.

The exact cause of the contamination was not provided in the initial announcement. No specific store locations were identified as the source of the contamination, and the recall applies broadly to the soup kits distributed under the Walmart brand.

Walmart has not yet disclosed the timeline for when the contamination was discovered or when the recall was initiated. Information regarding whether any illnesses have been reported in connection with these soup kits was also not provided. Consumers with questions or concerns are advised to contact Walmart customer service.
