Amy's Kitchen Pulls 184,200 Cans of Organic Lentil Soup Over Easy-Open Tab Defect

Amy's Kitchen has voluntarily recalled approximately 184,200 cans of its Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium after a manufacturing defect in the easy-open pull tab was found to create a risk of spoilage, according to an Amy's Kitchen spokesperson. The recall, initiated June 22, 2026, covers one lot 60D0924, stamped with a best-before date of April 2027 and extends across 27 U.S. states and all of Canada.

A Packaging Fault, Not a Contamination

No ingredient, allergen, or microbial contamination has been identified as the cause. The defect is structural: a fault in the mechanical easy-open pull tab on the can's lid can compromise the container's seal, according to the Wegmans recall notice published June 24, 2026. A broken seal allows air into the can, which is what creates the spoilage risk.

"The defect could cause the product to spoil, and the decision was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure the quality and safety of our products," an Amy's Kitchen spokesperson said, as reported by the outlet that first cited the company statement on July 21, 2026.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency describes the issue formally as "container integrity defects and spoilage" and classifies the Canadian recall as Class 3 the lowest risk tier in Canada's system, used when the probability of adverse health consequences is low. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified the recall as Class II, a category the FDA applies when exposure may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.

Neither the CFIA nor Wegmans has listed any confirmed cases of illness connected to the affected cans.

How to Identify the Affected Cans

There is one lot, one size, and one best-before date. Check all three before using the product.

The lot code is typically printed or embossed near the bottom rim of the can or on the lid. If your can carries a different lot code even with the same UPC and best-before date it is not listed in this recall.

Reporting citing an Amy's spokesperson confirms no other Amy's Kitchen products or soup varieties are included.

Scale and Distribution

Amy's Kitchen puts the total at approximately 15,350 cases. At 12 cans per case, that equals roughly 184,200 cans. The product reached retail shelves across Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin 27 states in total.

In Canada, the CFIA's recall notice lists distribution as national, covering the full retail network rather than specific provinces.

Wegmans, which published a U.S. retailer recall notice on June 24, 2026, is offering a full refund at its Service Desk for customers returning the affected product. Consumers with questions can also reach Amy's Kitchen directly at 888-943-4207, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST.

What Shoppers Should Do

The CFIA's instruction for Canadian consumers is clear: do not use, sell, serve, or distribute the affected product. The same applies for U.S. consumers who hold the recalled lot.

If your can matches lot 60D0924 with best-before 04/2027, set it aside without opening it. Return it to the retailer where you bought it for a refund, or contact Amy's Kitchen directly. A visible defect on the pull tab is not a reliable indicator the structural fault may not be apparent from the outside, and the CFIA's guidance does not make safe consumption conditional on visible damage.
