Marks & Spencer is recalling its M&S Smooth Butternut Squash soup and has urged customers not to consume the item.

This is because it may contain small pieces of metal which makes it unsafe to eat.

In a statement, the supermarket said: “Customer safety is of paramount importance to Marks & Spencer, and we take all issues regarding the production of our foods extremely seriously.”

The company said there is a potential presence of small traces of metal in a few packs.

Anyone with the soup in their fridge should not eat the food and return it immediately.

In other food recall news, Co-op recalled its Smooth Brussels Pate last month due to potential contamination with salmonella and listeria monocytogenes.

Symptoms caused by salmonella include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.

Symptoms caused by listeria monocytogenes can be similar to the flu and include high temperature, muscle aches or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea.
