Baxters recalls popular Scottish soup as cans could swell and explode

News Scottish News Food Customers have been urged to dispose of the tins in an outside bin in case they burst. 17:24, 07 Nov 2026 Customers who bought cans of a popular Scottish soup have been urged to dispose of them in outside bins over fears the tins could explode. ‌ ‌ Baxters have recalled their Chef Selections Cullen Skink soup, a smoked haddock chowder, because of a manufacturing fault.

‌ The issue may cause the product to spoil and cans to “swell and potentially rupture”, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said. If spoilt, the soup may have an “unpleasant odour and flavour”, the FSA said. The Scottish soup company said the issue may affect the 400g cans with batch code L07XC and an April 2029 best before date.

‌ Food Standards Scotland issued the same warning. ‌ Shoppers who bought the soup in England, Wales, and Scotland have been told not to eat it, and to instead throw the whole can away without opening it. “Carefully place the full can in a bag and dispose of it in an external bin,” the FSA told customers.
