Walmart has issued a recall for its Great Value Family Size Chicken Broth due to packaging issues that could cause the product to spoil. The recall involves 48-ounce cartons sold at 242 stores across nine states: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the packaging defect could lead to spoilage before the broth’s listed shelf life, which extends to March 2026. Over 2,000 cases of the product are affected, though there have been no reported illnesses associated with the issue.
Walmart has advised customers not to consume the recalled product. Shoppers can return the broth to their local Walmart store for a full refund. The company is currently working with its supplier to investigate the cause of the packaging problem and prevent future issues.
For more information, customers can contact Walmart customer service or visit the FDA’s website.
Last month, self-proclaimed TikTok “prankster” was arrested in Mesa, Arizona, after a reckless stunt involving spraying poison on food at a Walmart store. The individual, 27-year-old Charles Smith, filmed himself committing the crime and uploaded the footage to social media, directly implicating himself.
According to court documents, Smith returned to the Walmart ten minutes after the incident and attempted to retrieve the items he had sprayed. He even moved some of the contaminated products to the back of the store, further complicating the situation.
As a result of Smith’s actions, Walmart was forced to remove nearly $1 million worth of food to ensure customer safety.
