A "do not eat" warning has been issued for soup sold at several major supermarkets over fears the tins may explode.
The alert concerns Baxters Chef Selections Cullen Skink soup that is sold at Tesco, Sainsbury's and Waitrose.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Norfolk Trading Standards issued the alert, saying that a manufacturing fault may cause the product to spoil and cans to "swell and potentially rupture".
The issue affects 400g cans with batch code L07XC and an April 2029 best before date.
The FSA instructed customers that the spoiled soup may emit an "unpleasant odour and flavour" and advised anyone who purchased the product to not eat it.
Customers are urged to dispose of the unopened can in an external bin.
Point-of-sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that have sold the product to explain why it is being recalled.
This includes Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose.
Tesco issued its own warning to customers, saying: "If you’ve bought an affected product, please don’t eat it.
"Instead, return it to any Tesco store for a full refund.
"No receipt is required.”
