Soup Sold in Tesco Recalled over Fears Cans Could 'Swell and Rupture'
The recall covers 400g cans with batch code L07XC and an April 2029 best before date, with customers told to discard unopened tins.
On Friday, the Food Standards Agency issued a recall for Baxters Chef Selections Cullen Skink soup due to a manufacturing fault that may cause 400g cans to "swell and potentially rupture".
Spoilage concerns led to warnings that the soup could have an "unpleasant odour and flavour", prompting the FSA to caution consumers against opening the tins due to safety risks.
Customers should not eat the product and must dispose of the full can safely. The FSA stated: "Carefully place the full can in a bag and dispose of it in an external bin."
Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Waitrose are displaying point-of-sale notices to inform shoppers about affected batches, which include code L07XC and batch codes 6160, 6198, 6219, and 6257.
Anyone holding an affected product should contact the Baxters customer care team at 0800 389 8389 or email CCUK@baxters.com to request a replacement.
