Wegmans has recalled a batch of its FYFGA-labeled 16-ounce organic chicken noodle soup cups after customers and the company identified what appear to be red plastic fragments in some containers. The recall affects a limited run of cups with a best-by date next week. Customers can return the products for a full refund.
The chain posted a recall notice on Feb. 5 for "Wegmans FYFGA Organic Chicken Noodle Soup" 16oz, flagging lot codes 120925-6D and 120925-7D and UPC 0-77890-31666-5 with a best-by date of 02/17/2026, and warned of "possible red plastic foreign material," according to Wegmans. The notice says affected cups can be returned to any store for a full refund and lists a customer service line for questions.
Which cups to check
Before you heat or serve, check the UPC and lot codes on any 16-ounce FYFGA organic chicken noodle soup cups in your fridge or pantry. The best-by date, Feb. 17, is close, so the window for affected product is relatively short, but Wegmans is urging customers to verify labels anyway. Outlets covering the recall noted that Wegmans did not explain how the plastic may have gotten into the soup and offered little detail beyond the basic alert, as reported by Delish.
How often do foreign-material recalls happen?
Recalls tied to foreign material such as plastic, metal or wood crop up from time to time in processed and ready-to-eat foods, and retailers typically ask customers to return products even when there are no reported injuries. Local coverage from News10NBC highlighted Wegmans' advisory and pointed readers to the full recall list on the grocer's website, repeating the same identifiers so shoppers can double-check any soup cups at home.
Returns and contact
Wegmans advises customers who purchased the recalled soup to return it for a full refund. Questions can be directed to 1‑855‑934‑3663, available daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST. Anyone who may have ingested foreign material and is experiencing symptoms should contact a healthcare provider, and keep the packaging or remnants if planning to follow up with the store.
