The product, family-sized, 48-ounce cartons of Great Value Chicken Broth, are sold in aseptic paper cartons that could “compromise the sterility of the product, resulting in spoilage,” according to an announcement posted on the Food and Drug Administration’s website.

Food recalls have become an all-too-familiar part of the modern consumer landscape. Whether prompted by contamination, mislabeling, or other safety concerns, these recalls serve as a critical safeguard for public health.

The FDA recalled more than 2,000 cases of Great Value chicken broth sold at 242 Walmart locations across the nine states due to compromised packaging that could lead to bacterial spoilage, which could be undetectable through taste and smell.
