Soup Recalled From Popular NJ Grocer May Contain Insects

NEW JERSEY — Trader Joe's has issued another recall of one of its products from New Jersey shelves because of possible foreign object contamination, saying its Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup "may contain insects."

The affected product lots have a SKU # of 68470, and a "use by" date between July 18 and Sept. 15, 2023, said the specialty grocer. The supplier of that particular brand of soup alerted Trader Joe's that it may contain insects, said the company.

Trader Joe's has 18 locations in New Jersey.

Trader Joe's said no customers have reported adverse health effects from eating the products, and did not specify exactly what insects the product could contain.

"If you purchased or received any donations of Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup, please discard the product or return it to any Trader Joe’s for a full refund," said the retailer.

Customers with questions may contact Trader Joe's Customer Relations at 626-599-3817, from Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time, or submit a query online.
