The recall applies to 16-ounce Meal Simple brand Red Lentil Dal Soup with a “best by” date of Jan. 11, 2026 printed on the bottom of the cup.
“People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product,” the FDA said in the release.
The recalled soup was distributed from Nov. 3 to Dec. 8 in clear plastic cups.
Bakkavor USA of Charlotte, North Carolina initiated the recall. According to the FDA, no illnesses have been reported as of Wednesday.
