Amy’s Kitchen pulled more than 180,000 cans in the Amy's Lentil Soup Recall after a can defect raised spoilage concerns. The voluntary action began on June 22 and affects Organic Lentil Soup - Light in Sodium sold across 27 states and parts of Canada.
Fernando Cervantes Jr. reported the recall on July 22, after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration enforcement report had been posted on July 14. The company said the defect could cause the product to spoil, and that the recall was made out of an abundance of caution to protect product quality and safety.
Organic Lentil Soup - Light in Sodium
The affected product is Organic Lentil Soup - Light in Sodium, packaged in 15,530 cases. Amy’s Kitchen said the recall applies to cans with best-by dates in April 2027 and lot number 60D0924. The company’s statement, given to NBC Bay Area, ties the action to a packaging defect rather than to a finished-product complaint.
That distinction matters for shoppers checking cupboards. A can defect can let a sealed product lose its barrier against contamination and spoilage before the best-by date, so the issue is with the container itself, not a single store shelf or one isolated batch at one location.
Consumer geography
The recall reaches consumers in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Maine, Missouri, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Canada. That reach puts the action well beyond one region and makes it a broad distribution issue.
Because the product was sold in more than 20 states and parts of Canada, people who bought the soup should check the name, lot number, and best-by date on the can before using it. The recall remains the operative step for anyone who has the affected product, and the central detail to verify is whether the can shows lot number 60D0924 and an April 2027 best-by date.

Mike Snider is listed as a contributor to the report that carried the recall details. The company’s public statement did not add a different hazard or a separate retail action beyond the voluntary recall already in place.
For readers with the soup at home, the practical move is simple: compare the can against the recalled product details before opening it. If the label matches, the can belongs to the recall group that Amy’s Kitchen already initiated on June 22.
