10.5-oz can of "tasty KITCHEN Chicken Noodle Recall: What To Do

can quot recall notices often involve small products with big paper trails. This one covers a 10.5-ounce can of “tasty KITCHEN Chicken Noodle Condensed Soup PRODUCT OF CANADA.” The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the action on July 23, 2026. BCI Foods, Inc. is the importer of record. The company is located in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada. The soup entered the United States without import reinspection. That makes it ineligible for sale here.

What the Can Quot Recall Covers

The recall applies to one canned soup item. It is a 10.5-oz can labeled “tasty KITCHEN Chicken Noodle Condensed Soup PRODUCT OF CANADA.” The best by date reads “2028 FE 04.” The lot code reads “5 9 2 26 035.” Both markings appear on the can. Check them carefully before assuming your can is safe.

FSIS says the product was produced on February 4, 2026. Roughly 4,300 pounds are covered by this can quot recall. That is a modest volume by food recall standards. However, small volumes still reach real kitchens and pantries. Canned soup also has a long shelf life. As a result, affected cans may sit unused for months or years.

The agency record does not list the specific retail locations. It also does not name the retail chains involved. For example, some import recalls list distribution states while others do not. In this case, the public record simply identifies the importer of record. Readers should rely on the label markings above to identify product covered by this can quot recall.

The official FSIS notice includes label images. Those labels are the most reliable identification tool. Typically, a can’s front panel shows the brand and product name. The date and lot code usually appear on the end or the rim. Compare both against the details listed here.

The Hazard and Reported Injuries

The hazard in this can quot recall is classified as an import violation. The product was imported from Canada without the benefit of import reinspection. Import reinspection is a required checkpoint for foreign meat and poultry products. It verifies that a shipment matches its paperwork and meets U.S. standards. Skipping that step means the product was never cleared for U.S. commerce.

FSIS assigned this recall a Class I classification. Class I is the agency’s highest risk tier. It signals a situation where there is a reasonable probability that eating the product could cause serious health consequences. However, the classification reflects the risk category, not a confirmed outcome. In most cases, Class I import violations reflect the absence of verification rather than a proven contaminant.

The agency record does not state whether any injuries have been reported in connection with this product. This guide will not claim that injuries occurred. It will also not claim that none occurred. Readers who feel unwell after eating any recalled food should contact a healthcare provider. That advice applies regardless of what a recall notice says.

What To Do If You Own This Product

Stop and check your pantry first. Look for 10.5-oz cans of tasty KITCHEN Chicken Noodle Condensed Soup. Confirm the “PRODUCT OF CANADA” wording on the label. Then confirm the best by date “2028 FE 04” and lot code “5 9 2 26 035.” If all details match, the can is covered by this can quot recall.

Do not eat the soup. That is the one universal step in any Class I food recall. Heating does not resolve an import violation. Neither does a can that looks and smells normal. Set the product aside where no one will grab it by mistake. Keep it away from children and pets.

This guide does not state the remedy for this can quot recall. The agency remedy text on file did not match this product, so it has been withheld here. Instead, follow the instructions in the official FSIS notice linked on this page. That notice is the authoritative source for what to do with the can. Follow it exactly.

Keep a record before you act. Photograph the front label, the date code, and the lot code. Save your receipt if you still have it. Note where and when you bought the item. Typically, that documentation helps with any later question about the product. It costs nothing to keep.

Does a Can Quot Recall Mean You Can Sue?

A recall is not a lawsuit. That distinction matters and is often misunderstood. A recall is a safety action. A company, sometimes with agency involvement, pulls a product from the market. No court is involved. No finding of fault has been made. A can quot recall by itself is not a legal claim.

A legal claim generally requires more than a recall notice. In most cases, it requires an actual injury or loss. It also requires a causal link between the product and that harm. Medical records, purchase records, and the product itself typically matter. Without those elements, a recall notice alone rarely supports a claim.

If you believe you were harmed, talk to a licensed attorney in your state. An attorney can assess the facts and the applicable deadlines. You may be eligible to pursue a claim depending on those facts. However, no outcome is guaranteed. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created here.

Be cautious with anyone promising a payout. No one can promise compensation from a can quot recall. For example, a lawful consultation reviews your facts first. It does not start with a dollar figure. Ask questions, get terms in writing, and take your time.

How Recalls Connect to Mass Tort Cases

Recalls sometimes become evidence in later litigation. A recall notice can establish what a company knew and when it knew it. It can identify affected lot codes and production dates. It can also show the scope of distribution. As a result, plaintiffs’ attorneys often treat recall records as a starting point for investigation.

Real examples show the pattern. Philips recalled millions of CPAP and BiPAP devices in 2021 over sound abatement foam. That recall preceded consolidated federal litigation. Takata airbag inflator recalls became among the largest automotive recalls in U.S. history and were followed by extensive litigation. However, neither example means every recall leads to a case. Most recalls, including many food recalls, resolve without any litigation at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my can is part of this recall?

Check the label for the 10.5-oz “tasty KITCHEN Chicken Noodle Condensed Soup PRODUCT OF CANADA” wording. Then confirm the best by date “2028 FE 04” and the lot code “5 9 2 26 035.” All details must match.

What does “import violation” actually mean here?

It means the product entered the United States without required import reinspection. That checkpoint verifies foreign meat and poultry shipments before they can be sold. Without it, the product was never cleared for U.S. commerce.

Has anyone been hurt by this product?

The agency record does not state whether injuries have been reported. This guide will not claim either way. If you feel unwell after eating any recalled food, contact a healthcare provider.

Were You Injured by a Recalled Product?

A recall by itself is a safety action, not a legal claim. However, if a recalled product caused a real injury, you may be eligible to pursue compensation. A licensed attorney can review your situation at no upfront cost — most work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing unless you recover.
