Marks & Spencer has issued a recall for its popular Smooth Butternut Squash soup, urging customers not to consume the product due to the potential presence of small pieces of metal. The supermarket chain, known for its high-quality food standards, emphasized that customer safety is paramount and takes all production issues seriously.
The recall specifically affects packs of Smooth Butternut Squash Soup with a best-before date of 06/10/2024 and a product code of 00641142. M&S confirmed that only these specific packs are impacted, and no other products are affected.
Customers who have purchased the affected soup are advised to return it to their nearest M&S store for a full refund. They should not consume the soup under any circumstances. For any further information or queries, customers can contact M&S directly at 03330148555.
This recent recall follows a similar incident last month where Co-op recalled its Smooth Brussels Pate due to potential contamination with salmonella and listeria monocytogenes. These bacteria can cause severe food poisoning, leading to symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and flu-like symptoms.
It’s crucial for consumers to be aware of food recall notices and take the necessary precautions to ensure their safety. Always check product labels and best-before dates, and if a recall is issued, follow the instructions provided by the retailer or manufacturer.
