Food alert on canned soup

The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) today (September 11) advised people not to consume two types of canned soup which might have an objectionable smell.

The affected products are all batches of "Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup" (405g/14.3oz) and "Campbell's Condensed Creamy Chicken Mushroom Soup" (410g/14.5oz).

"We also appeal to traders to stop selling these two products," a CFS spokesman said.

The spokesman said that the importer, Campbell Soup Asia Limited, was recalling all the affected products as a precaution. The company has set up a consumer helpline (Tel: 3128 8022) for enquiries.

"We have alerted the trade and are closely monitoring the situation," the spokesman said.
