Dry Soup Mixes Recalled in US and Canada

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has warned consumers to avoid using brands of dry soup mix due to possible salmonella contamination.

The agency said products such as Inovacure chicken soup, Proti diet chicken soup and ProtiLife chicken soup contain hydrolyzed vegetable protein additive, which has been recalled by Basic Food Flavors for salmonella contamination.

More products are being removed from shelves at Canadian stores as the list of food items containing the additive grows, the agency said.

The flavour enhancer, which is added to snacks and other pre-packaged foods, recently led to a massive recall.
