Request Foods recalls soups due to wood contamination

Request Foods Inc., based in Holland, Michigan, has issued a Class II recall for several products due to the possible presence of wood fragments. Initiated on April 4, 2025, the recall includes Moroccan Style Lentil Soup, Mexican Street Corn Soup, Cuban-Style Black Bean Soup, and Beecher’s Street Corn. These items were distributed in Illinois and Michigan. The affected products are identified by specific lot codes and were packaged in bulk cases or retail units. A total of nearly 19,000 cases are involved. Though no injuries have been reported, ingestion of wood could cause choking, oral injuries, or temporary digestive discomfort. Class II recalls suggest a low likelihood of severe health issues, but businesses are advised to remove the products from inventory immediately. Consumers should discard or return them to the point of purchase. Anyone experiencing symptoms after consuming these products should contact a healthcare provider. The recall is currently ongoing per FDA updates.
