A popular canned soup sold at Tesco and Waitrose has been recalled after a manufacturing fault raised concerns that affected cans could swell, rupture, or contain spoiled food. Customers have been instructed not to eat or open the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing Fault Triggers Official Food Recall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

British food manufacturer Baxters <\/strong>has recalled a specific batch of its Chef Selections Cullen Skink soup, a traditional Scottish fish soup, following concerns about a defect in the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recall affects supermarkets across England and Wales, including Tesco and Waitrose, according to Express.co.uk<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) <\/strong>has issued an official recall notice for the product across England and Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said: “A manufacturing fault has occurred which may result in spoilage causing unpleasant odour and flavour, swelling and possible rupture of the can.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warning identifies a potential problem with the integrity of the affected cans. Customers <\/a>should not attempt to determine whether their soup is safe by opening the container or checking its smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Identify the Recalled Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The recall applies to one specific batch of Baxters soup, making it necessary for shoppers to check the information printed on their cans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The affected product is Baxters Chef Selections Cullen Skink Soup, sold in a 400g can<\/strong>. The recalled batch carries the code L07XC and has a best-before date of April 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumers who find a matching can should follow the official recall instructions rather than attempt to consume its contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baxters has identified no other products from its range as affected by this particular recall.<\/p>\n\n\n

Food Standards Agency Issues Strict Disposal Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The FSA<\/strong> has advised customers to dispose of affected cans without opening them, reducing the risk associated with a container that could rupture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency further advised:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“If you have bought the above product, do not eat it. Instead, dispose of the full can and product without opening. Carefully place the full can in a bag and dispose of it in an external bin.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Contact Baxters Customer Care team via the details below for a replacement. For further information, please contact Baxters on 0800 389 8389 or e-mail CCUK@baxters.com.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

These instructions specifically call for disposal of the entire sealed can, rather than emptying its contents into household waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesco and Waitrose Explain How Customers Can Get Refunds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both supermarkets have issued guidance explaining what customers should do if they purchased an affected product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesco has informed its customers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“If you’ve bought an affected product, please don’t eat it. Instead, return it to any Tesco store for a full refund. No receipt is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No other Baxters products are affected by this recall. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Waitrose has also instructed customers not to consume the soup and to package the product before returning it to a local Waitrose & Partners branch for a refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The retailer has directed customers seeking assistance to its customer care service at 0800 188 884, option 4, or to Baxters directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food recalls are issued when products may pose a risk or fail to meet food safety requirements. In this case, the FSA’s warning specifically identifies potential spoilage and can rupture associated with the manufacturing defect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers seeking a replacement can contact Baxters Customer Care at 0800 389 8389 or CCUK@baxters.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
