Soup sold in Tesco recalled over fears cans could 'swell and rupture'

Baxters has recalled its Chef Selections Cullen Skink soup sold in supermarkets, warning that the cans could “swell and rupture.” The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued the recall notice after identifying a “manufacturing fault.” Affected products are the 400g tins with batch code L07XC and a best-before date of April 2029 (LC51), information found on the underside of the can. Baxters says the fault could cause spoilage, unpleasant odour and flavour, swelling, and possible can rupture. Customers are told not to eat the soup, dispose of the full unopened tin, and return it to Tesco or Waitrose for a full refund, without needing a receipt. Replacement guidance is available through Baxters’ customer care.
