Over 12,000 cases of chicken broth sold at Walmart have been recalled due to concerns that the product's packaging was compromised, potentially causing the broth to spoil, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The recall affects Walmart's Great Value Family Size Chicken Broth, packaged in 48-ounce cartons. The product has a best-by date of March 25, 2026, and UPC code of 007874206684 printed on the packaging. It was distributed to Walmart locations in Alabama and Arkansas.
The recall was initiated over concerns that the packaging could "compromise the sterility of the product, resulting in spoilage," per the FDA. If you have the affected chicken broth in your possession, throw it away or return it to the place of purchase immediately.
Consuming the recalled chicken broth may cause food poisoning due to the possibility of the product spoiling. Symptoms of food poisoning can include vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, as well as flu-like symptoms such as fever, headaches, and body aches. Contact your healthcare provider if you're displaying symptoms of food poisoning following the consumption of the recalled product.
