Despite the rigorous inspection process that each Trader Joe's item through prior to sale, the grocery chain may need to be more rigid about product quality after its launch.

According to the FDA, Winter Gardens Quality Foods, a Pennsylvania-based food supplier to TJ's, voluntarily initiated the recall on July 10.

Because the broccoli florets were infected, Winter Gardens recommends keeping packages wrapped and refrigerated until they are disposed of or returned for a refund.

The FDA recalled shipments to Florida, Illinois, California, Texas, Washington, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut on July 26.

The insects in the soup were not identified in the corporate statement or the FDA report.

Because the FDA classified the soup as a Class III Recall, the lowest risk category, it was not infected with very lethal or life-threatening disease vector insects.

However, the FDA already allows a "safe" quantity of insects in all frozen vegetables, thus the fact that the Broccoli Cheddar Soup recall was classified suggests that the

product exceeded the FDA's guideline and posed an unlikely but actual risk. If you eat the soup by accident, bag it up and return it to Trader Joe's.
