Walmart has issued a recall for over 12,000 cartons of Great Value Chicken Broth due to compromised packaging that could lead to spoilage. The recall, announced by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), affects 48-ounce cartons with a "best used by" date of March 25, 2026 and UPC code "007874206684." The recall was initiated on December 11, 2022, but details only emerged on the FDA website on January 8, 2023.

Walmart has taken swift action to remove the recalled products from its shelves, demonstrating its commitment to customer safety. The company is also working with the supplier, Tree House Foods Inc., to investigate the cause of the packaging failures and prevent similar issues in the future. Walmart advises customers who have purchased the recalled broth to discard it and contact the company for a full refund.

This recall serves as a wake-up call for Walmart and other retailers to prioritize food safety and quality control. While Walmart has taken steps to address the issue, the recall highlights the importance of ongoing vigilance and collaboration with suppliers to ensure the safety of the products on its shelves.
