The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a nationwide public health alert for various soups and bowl products that could be contaminated with wood.
A health alert was issued on Friday after cilantro, an ingredient in the products, was recalled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the presence of a foreign material.
Thirteen products were listed in the health alert.

“These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase,” the alert said.
A representative for the Campbell’s Co. pointed out that none of its soups have been recalled.
“The soups included in the health alert are food-service varieties sold in restaurants and other institutions,” Campbell’s spokesperson James Regan told Fox News Digital.
“They are not sold in retail stores in cans or bowls.”
