Hidden Milk Alert: Soup Recall at H-E-B
11 Dec
Summary
- Red Lentil Dal Soup recalled for containing undeclared milk.
- Soup mislabeled as Red Lentil Dal actually contained poultry soup.
- Recall affects H-E-B stores across Texas for specific soup batch.
An urgent product recall has been announced for Bakkavor USA's 16-ounce Meal Simple Red Lentil Dal Soup due to the presence of undeclared milk. This recall specifically impacts H-E-B stores across Texas, where the mislabeled soup was distributed between November 3 and December 8, 2025. The affected product bears a 'BEST BY 1/11/2026' date.
The issue arose when certain cups labeled as Red Lentil Dal Soup were found to contain poultry and rice soup, an ingredient mix that includes milk. For consumers with milk allergies, this hidden allergen presents a significant risk of severe or potentially life-threatening reactions. The mislabeling was discovered following a consumer report of receiving incorrect soup within the packaging.
As of Wednesday, neither Bakkavor USA nor the FDA has reported any illnesses linked to this recall. Customers who purchased the affected soup are strongly encouraged to return it to their place of purchase for a full refund. The root cause of this labeling error is currently under investigation.
