Undeclared Wheat Prompts Class 1 Recall of Soup Time French Onion Soup 2026

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a Class 1 food recall warning for Soup Time brand French Onion Soup after the product was found to contain wheat that is not declared on its label. The warning was published on October 16, 2026, under recall number RA-82810, and is aimed at anyone who has bought the soup, especially people with wheat allergies or celiac disease.

If you have this soup in your pantry, check it before you eat it. A Class 1 classification is the most serious level used in Canadian recalls, and the agency says the product may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction in people who are allergic or sensitive to wheat or gluten.

Recalled Products at a Glance

The recall covers a single product from one brand. The details published by the CFIA are listed below.

The CFIA notice shows product photos of a single-count package of Soup Time French Onion Soup, including the front, back and label. One of the photos shows a best before date of December 31, 2027. The agency does not list a package size or a specific lot number. Instead, it says the recall applies to all codes where wheat is not declared on the label.

What Triggered the Recall

According to the CFIA, the product is being pulled from the marketplace because it contains wheat that does not appear on the label. Wheat is a recognized priority food allergen in Canada, so people who must avoid it rely on the ingredient list and allergen statement to decide what is safe to eat.

The agency reports that the recall was triggered by a consumer complaint. It also states that one reaction associated with eating the product has been reported. The notice does not describe the reaction.

Wheat is also a source of gluten. For that reason, the CFIA warns that people with celiac disease or other gluten-related disorders should not eat the recalled soup either.

Who Should Be Concerned

Based on the distribution information in the notice, the soup was sold online and in Alberta. Anyone in that area who ordered or bought Soup Time French Onion Soup should check what they have at home. People buying for others, such as family members, guests or workplaces, should also check, since the person eating the soup may not know it contains wheat.

The most at-risk groups are people with a wheat allergy, people with celiac disease and people with other gluten-related disorders. The CFIA notes that the recalled product may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction in these groups.

Steps Consumers Should Take

The CFIA has given clear guidance for anyone who may have the recalled soup. Here is what the agency says to do:

• Check to see if you have the recalled product.
• Do not eat the product if you are allergic or sensitive to wheat.
• Do not eat the product if you have celiac disease or another gluten-related disorder.
• Do not serve, use, sell or distribute the recalled product.
• Throw the product out or return it to the location where it was purchased.

If you have questions, you can contact the company, Soup Time Alberta Inc., by telephone at 780-404-1407 or by email at albeniuk@gmail.com. Members of the public can also reach the CFIA at 1-613-773-2342 or information@inspection.gc.ca. Media enquiries can go to 613-773-6600 or cfia.media.acia@inspection.gc.ca.

The notice does not describe a refund process, so consumers who want to know about reimbursement should ask the company or the store where they bought the soup.

Regulatory Response

The CFIA says it is carrying out a food safety investigation into the matter. The agency notes that this investigation may lead to the recall of other products, so the list of affected items could change as the work continues. It is also verifying that industry is removing the recalled product from the marketplace.

The notice was published by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency on the Government of Canada recalls and safety alerts site, which is operated with Health Canada. The agency encourages consumers to sign up for recall notifications by email and to follow its social media channels, so they get alerts as soon as new recalls are issued.

Consumers who have a food safety or labelling concern can report it to the CFIA through the complaint channels listed on its website. The agency also provides general information on common food allergies for anyone who wants to learn more about reading labels and avoiding allergens.

For now, the advice is simple. If you or someone you feed has a wheat allergy or celiac disease, check for Soup Time French Onion Soup and do not eat it. Throw it out or return it to where you bought it, and contact the company or the CFIA if you have questions.
