Walmart Recalls Kitchen Staple- Potential For Food Poisoning
Walmart has recalled over 2,000 cases of chicken stock because the normally shelf-stable product could cause food poisoning, according to USA Today.
At 6 units per case, that is over 12,000 cartons of chicken stock that could be full of dangerous bacteria.
The chicken stock made its way into 242 stores. Some of the recalled products were sent to Walmart locations in Texas, so be sure to check your pantry.

The normally shelf-stable stock is packaged in aseptic paper cartons, which is used for many different products- from soy milk to soup.
From Tetrapak, a maker of such cartons (but not necessarily the Walmart packages):
Aseptic paper-based cartons are made of multiple layers that keep light, air, and microorganisms out. This helps to preserve the properties and quality of food for an extended period over 6 months without the need for refrigeration or preservatives.
However, a failure in production could let organisms find their way in, and without refrigeration, thrive.
