A popular can of soup is at risk of bursting with customers urged to dispose of them in outside bins.
Baxters have recalled their Chef Selections Cullen Skink soup, a smoked haddock chowder, because of a manufacturing fault.
This may cause the product to spoil and cans to ‘swell and potentially rupture’, the Foods 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.

Shoppers who bought the soup in England and Wales 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.
People seeking a replacement are told to contact Baxters customer care team.
