Kettle Cuisine LLC of Savage, Maryland, is recalling the 14-ounce soup kits because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The recall affects products sold at select Walmart stores, including in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and West Virginia, between June 30 and July 7.

Consumers should throw away the product or return it for a refund. The recalled soup kits have a UPC of 194346474004 and a use-by date of Aug. 22, 2026.

The company said the recall was initiated after routine testing found a presumptive positive result for listeria. No illnesses have been reported.

Listeria can cause serious infections, particularly in young children, older adults, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems. Anyone who develops symptoms after eating the product should contact a healthcare provider.

Questions can be directed to Kettle Cuisine at 617-409-1104.

Fired opinion writer still waiting for call from Washington Post after arbitrator ordered reinstatement, back pay

Several days after an arbitrator ordered the Washington Post to reinstate fired opinion writer Karen Attiah, she told WTOP she's still hasn't gotten a phone call about returning to work. "I'm waiting to hear from the Washington Post as of this morning," Attiah said. "I'm willing to go back to the work that I was doing as a columnist and as a writer particularly focused on race, gender and international rights." A Thursday ruling by arbitrator Sarah Miller Espinosa said the newspaper did not have sufficient cause to fire Attiah over social media posts about violent white men following last year's killing of Charlie Kirk, and ordered the Post to award Attiah full back pay and lost benefits. "So, the Washington Post has its marching orders, let's see if they follow them," said Attiah, who described her reaction to arbitrator's ruling as "vindicated, slightly tired, really happy about the decision and reinstatement, plus back pay, of course."
