Barely a day goes by without one of the major supermarkets issuing a product recall.
Today (August 15) the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a warning over some of its soups - because they could pose a risk to people with allergies.
The FSA said: "Waitrose is recalling Waitrose Sweet Potato & Coconut Soup and Waitrose Roasted Tomato, Bean & Quinoa Soup because some of the pots have been filled with an incorrect product which contains soya that is not mentioned on the labels.
"This means the products are a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to soya."
The product details

No other Waitrose products are known to be affected.
