If you keep a can of Amy’s soup in your pantry for “just in case” nights, it’s worth pulling it out and checking the label right now. Amy’s Kitchen has recalled more than 184,000 cans of its Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified it as a Class II recall — meaning it’s serious enough to act on, even if the risk to most people is low.
Here’s everything confirmed so far about the Amy’s soup can recall, including which cans are affected, why it happened, and what to actually do if you find one in your cupboard.
What Is the Amy’s Soup Can Recall About?
Amy’s Kitchen, the California-based organic and vegetarian food company, voluntarily recalled 15,350 cases of its Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium. With 12 cans per case, that works out to roughly 184,200 individual cans pulled from shelves.
The issue isn’t the soup recipe itself. It’s the can. Amy’s says a manufacturing defect in the can’s easy-open pull tab could compromise the seal. Once a can’s seal is even slightly weakened, yeast, mold, or spoilage bacteria from the environment can potentially work their way in — during shipping, on a store shelf, or even sitting in your kitchen cabinet. That’s what triggers the “potential for spoilage” label on the recall notice.

The recall was initiated on June 22, 2026, and the FDA formally classified it as Class II on July 14, 2026. In FDA terms, a Class II recall means using the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health problems, but the odds of anything serious are considered remote.
As of now, no illnesses or injuries have been linked to the recalled soup.
Which Cans Are Affected?
This recall applies to one specific product, one specific lot — not Amy’s entire soup lineup, and not other flavors sitting next to it on the shelf. Here’s exactly what to look for:
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Product | Amy’s Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium |
| Net Weight | 14.5 oz (411 g) |
| Lot Number | 60D0924 |
| Best-By Date | April 2027 |
| U.S. UPC | 042272005833 |
| Canadian UPC | 10042272905833 |
| Cases Recalled | 15,350 (approx. 184,200 cans) |
| Recall Classification | FDA Class II |
If your can doesn’t match that lot number and best-by date, it isn’t part of this recall — even if it’s the same soup variety. Amy’s has been clear that no other products or lot numbers are involved.
Where Was the Soup Sold?
The recalled soup reached retailers in nearly 30 U.S. states, plus parts of Canada. States confirmed so far include Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, among others.
Because the distribution list is broad, it’s genuinely worth checking your pantry even if you don’t live in one of the states listed by name — the product moved through a wide national retail network, and local coverage of recalls doesn’t always list every affected state.
Why This Matters Even If You Feel Fine
It’s easy to shrug off a “spoilage” recall as less urgent than something involving bacteria like Listeria or Salmonella. And to be fair, this one is lower-risk by design — the FDA’s Class II rating reflects that. But a compromised seal is unpredictable. Some affected cans might look and smell completely normal. Others might show warning signs.
Food safety experts generally recommend never consuming a canned product that is:
- Leaking or has a bulging lid or bottom
- Badly rusted, especially around the seams
- Deeply dented, particularly near the seal
- Showing any off smell or discoloration when opened
Amy’s Kitchen recommends against tasting a recalled can even to check — spoilage bacteria aren’t always detectable by smell or appearance before it’s too late.
What to Do If You Have a Recalled Can
If your can matches lot number 60D0924 and the April 2027 best-by date:
- Do not eat it, even if it looks or smells fine.
- Do not open it to check — just set it aside.
- Return it to the store where you bought it for a full refund. Amy’s has confirmed retailers are honoring returns for the recalled lot, receipt or not, in most cases.
- Check Amy’s official recall page (amys.com/recall) for the most current instructions, since retailer policies can vary slightly.
Is This the Same as Amy’s Past Recalls?
Not exactly, and it’s worth clearing up the confusion, because Amy’s Kitchen has had a couple of unrelated recalls over the years:
- In 2021, Amy’s recalled a Golden Lentil Dal Soup in Canada over an undeclared egg allergen — a completely different issue from a can defect.
- Years earlier, the company recalled a batch of products over a possible Listeria contamination linked to a spinach supplier.
This 2026 recall is neither of those. It’s specifically a can integrity issue with the Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium, tied to one manufacturing lot. If you’re searching around and seeing older headlines mixed in, that’s why — Amy’s has had more than one recall over the years, but they’re separate incidents with separate causes.
It’s also worth noting that this recall is unrelated to a separate, unconnected recall of Tasty Kitchen Chicken Noodle Condensed Soup that made headlines around the same time — that one involved a Canadian import and a USDA inspection paperwork issue, not a can defect.
Amy’s Soup Recall: Key Takeaways
- Amy’s Kitchen recalled roughly 184,200 cans of Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium.
- The cause is a defective easy-open pull tab that can compromise the can’s seal, raising spoilage risk.
- Only lot number 60D0924, best-by April 2027, is affected — no other Amy’s products or lots.
- The FDA classified it as a Class II recall on July 14, 2026; no illnesses have been reported.
- The soup was sold in nearly 30 U.S. states and parts of Canada.
- Consumers should not eat or open recalled cans and should return them for a refund.
FAQs
Is Amy’s soup safe to eat right now?
Most Amy’s products are unaffected. Only the specific lot (60D0924) of Organic Lentil Soup – Light in Sodium, with a best-by date of April 2027, is part of this recall.
How do I know if my can is part of the recall?
Check the bottom or side of the can for lot number 60D0924 and a best-by date of April 2027. If both match, it’s part of the recall.

Is this the same recall as the 2021 Amy’s soup issue?
That recall involved an undeclared egg allergen in a Canadian product. This 2026 recall is about a can defect that could lead to spoilage — a completely separate issue.
What should I do with a recalled can — throw it away or return it?
Either is acceptable, but returning it to the place of purchase gets you a refund. Don’t open it first, even to inspect it.
