What was recalled?
This recall covers Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kit, with approximately 540 cases affected. The company behind the recall is CUISINE, KETTLE, based in Savage, MD. The FDA describes the product as: “Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kit, Tomato Bisque with Cheese Croutons & White Cheddar Cheese, Ready to Heat, Net Wt. 14 OZ (397g), with UPC 1 94346474004. Must Keep Refrigerated.”
Why was Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kit recalled?
According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Product had a presumptive positive test result for Listeria monocytogenes.” In plain terms, this recall relates to Listeria.
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can grow even at refrigerator temperatures, which makes it a particular concern in ready-to-eat foods. Health authorities warn that it can cause a serious infection called listeriosis, and that pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable. This is why products potentially contaminated with Listeria are often recalled quickly.
What should you do?
If you think you may have bought Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kit, compare it against the product description and identifying codes (Best By/ Use By: 8/22/2026) before using it. This recall is currently listed as ongoing.
The general guidance for a matching product is to stop using it and follow the instructions in the official FDA recall notice, which may include a repair, replacement, refund, or safe disposal. When in doubt, contact CUISINE, KETTLE or your local health authority.
