The FDA notice said the packaging failure could lead to spoilage.
Aseptic packaging is designed to be sterile and keep food shelf-stable.
This is why unopened chicken broth can be stored in a cupboard and only needs refrigeration after opening.
No illnesses have been reported so far, and no risk level has been set.
Walmart also had yet to publish a formal recall notice on its website.
Consumers should throw out the broth or take it back to the store for a refund.
