Tiger Brands Listeria Update

Tiger Brands confirms that Enterprise Foods received a report
from the Department of Health (DoH) on 8 March 2018 which
confirms the presence of the Listeria monocytogenes ST6 (LST6)
strain in the Polokwane factory. This follows environmental
swabs taken at the factory on 2 February 2018.

The health and safety of consumers is our number one priority
and we are deeply concerned by the detection of LST6 in our
factory. Together with our staff, business partners and the
relevant authorities we are working to mitigate risks to
consumers. We are well advanced in the national recall of all
ready-to-eat chilled processed meat products, which we
initiated on Sunday.

Our Polokwane and Germiston factories remain closed whilst we
conduct a deep cleaning process.

Tiger Brands acknowledges that it is dealing with a national
crisis which has impacted customers, consumers and the
industry. Tiger Brands intends being at the forefront of
finding a solution, and to this end, we have appointed a team
of local and international scientific experts to attempt
identify the root cause of LST6.
