Baxters Cullen Skink soup recall: cans may swell and rupture – check your cupboard

Baxters is recalling a batch of its Chef Selections Cullen Skink soup because a manufacturing fault may cause the food to spoil and the cans to swell and potentially rupture, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said.

The recall applies in England and Wales. Shoppers who have bought the affected can are told not to eat it, and not to open it.

What to do if you have it

The FSA advises customers to dispose of the full can without opening it: place it carefully in a bag and put it in an outside bin. Baxters will provide a replacement – contact its customer care team on 0800 389 8389 or by email at CCUK@baxters.com.
