Waitrose Recall Hearty Minestrone Soup Due to Plastic Contamination

Due to fears that the product may contain pieces of blue plastic, posing an obvious choking hazard to customers, supermarket chain Waitrose have issued a recall notice for their minestrone soup.

The affected product is the Hearty Minestrone Soup, sold in 600g tubs with a use by date of January 29th. The product retails at £1.90.

The FSA have issued the following statement concerning the recall:

“Waitrose is recalling all batches of its Hearty Minestrone Soup because it may contain pieces of blue plastic. No other Waitrose products are known to be affected.

'The product may contain pieces of plastic which could represent a safety risk. If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.

“Point of sale notices will be displayed in all Waitrose stores. This notice explains why the product is being recalled and advises consumers what to do if they have bought it.'
