A voluntary recall for nearly 10,900 cases of Trader Joe's Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup has been recalled. The products have insects in them.

A voluntary recall for nearly 10,900 cases of Trader Joe’s broccoli cheddar soup is underway. 

Frozen broccoli florets in cases of 20-ounce Trader Joe’s Unexpected Broccoli Cheddar Soup contained insects, prompting the recall, an enforcement report published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said. 

Winter Gardens Quality Foods, a Pennsylvania-based company, recalled the soup July 10. 

FOX Business reached out to Trader Joe’s and Winter Gardens Quality Foods for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
