Tesco has recalled batches of its own-brand soup over fears they could contain pieces of metal.
The supermarket is pulling its Tesco Chicken and Vegetable cup soup with croutons, priced at 80p.
The product affected by the recall has a best before date of October 2023 and the date code 2098.
No other best before dates are included in the recall. The soup comes in a pack of five sachets and weighs 110g.
If you’ve purchased one of these products with the above date, Tesco has warned that it could be dangerous to eat.
Shoppers are being advised to return the soup to their nearest store for a refund. You won’t need your receipt to get your money back.
In its recall notice, Tesco said: “We have been made aware that one date code of Tesco Chicken and Vegetable cup soup with croutons 110g may contain small pieces of metal.
“Please do not eat this product but instead return any affected product to store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required.
“Tesco apologies to our customers for any inconvenience caused. If you require further details, please contact Customer Services.”

This isn't the first recall Tesco has issued this month. Just a few days ago, the supermarket urged shoppers to return certain packs of its Free From Digestive Biscuits.
Again, these were recalled over fears they could contain metal.
The affected packages are 160g and with an end date of March 2023. No other date batches are affected.
The supermarket has also recalled a certain batch of Trewithen Dairy Unsalted Butter after some were found to contain "high levels" of E. coli bacteria.
The batch is the Trewithen Dairy Unsalted Butter 250G with a best before date of May 23, 2022 with the batch code: G2 073.
Chocolate manufacturer Fererro has also issued a massive recall as well on several batches of Kinder eggs over fears they could be linked to an outbreak of salmonella.
As a result, a Kinder chocolate factory in Belgium was forced to shut.
Kinder products have been recalled in the UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland and Luxembourg.
Customers who've purchased one of the recalled products are being urged not to eat them.
Instead, you should contact the Ferrero consumer careline on consumers.uk@ferrero.com or 0330 053 8943 in the UK.
Shoppers will be offered a full refund, the chocolate manufacturer said.
When a supermarket product is recalled, you usually don’t need your receipt to get your money back.
But if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action.
For all product recalls, you can check the Food Standards Agency and Chartered Trading Standards Institute websites.
You should also notice recall notices in stores if they've pulled a product from shelves.
