By Phumzile Mavimbela

Tiger Brands has recalled KOO and Hugo's canned vegetable products manufactured in the first week of May 2021  due to what the company identified as an "extremely small number of defective cans supplied by a packaging supplier".

Tiger Brands says it has identified the issue as part of its internal quality assurance processes. The recall affects an estimate of about 20 million cans.

 "No health issues have been reported to date relating to the affected product range. Despite the low probability of illness and injury, matters of quality and food safety are an absolute priority for Tiger Brands. Therefore, the company in consultation with the National Consumer Council (NCC) and made the decision to initiate a precautionary withdrawal in the best interest of consumers," Tiger Brands said.
