Customers who bought cans of a fish soup manufactured by Baxters have been urged to dispose of them in outside bins over fears the tins could burst.
Product Recall and Safety Risks
The firm has recalled its Chef Selections Cullen Skink soup, a smoked haddock chowder, due to a manufacturing fault which may cause it to spoil and cans to “swell and potentially rupture”, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA). If spoilt, the soup may have an “unpleasant odour and flavour”, the FSA stated.
The company, based in the north east of Scotland, reported that the issue may affect the 400g cans with batch code L07XC and an April 2029 best before date. Shoppers who purchased the soup in England, Wales, and Scotland have been instructed not to consume it and to instead discard it without opening.
“Carefully place the full can in a bag and dispose of it in an external bin,” the FSA told customers. Individuals seeking a replacement can contact the Baxters customer care team at [email protected].
