What happened

Baxters has recalled its Chef Selections Cullen Skink soup because a manufacturing fault may cause cans to swell and potentially rupture, according to the Food Standards Agency [1]. Tesco and Sainsbury's are named in coverage as retailers of the soup [2]. The market reaction will be visible at the close of November 9, and this page will be updated then.

Baxters has recalled its Chef Selections Cullen Skink soup, a smoked haddock chowder, because of a manufacturing fault that may cause it to spoil. The Food Standards Agency says cans may "swell and potentially rupture" [1].

The company said the issue may affect 400g cans with batch code L07XC and an April 2029 best before date [1].

Shoppers in England, Wales and Scotland have been told not to eat the soup and to dispose of it without opening it. Customers have been urged to put the cans in outside bins [1].

The Independent reports that the FSA issued the alert on Friday on behalf of Baxters, and its headline refers to soup sold at Tesco, Sainsbury's and Waitrose [2]. A third outlet's headline also refers to soup sold in major supermarkets [3].
