Tiger Brands Beacon damascus nougat

Dear sir/madam
This product is my preferred choice! My son recently surprise-treated me! The attached shows what I nearly could have cracked a tooth on - a VERY HARD corn kernel/millie pip (?). We very co-incide tally found the till slip yesterday when wanting to use the carrier bag for refuse, hence not having submitted 'complaint' sooner. Would you like me to post the wrapper, slip and 'foreign ingredient' to you? Regards Audrey Jackson [protected]

Tiger Brands Ace instant porridge (fibre)

Dear Tiger Brands

On 29 August 2019 I purchased a bag of Ace Instant porridge, the High in Fibre one specifically. My 2 year old Daughter was eating breakfast and we noticed she was struggling to swallow, fortunately, we investigated immediately. We were shocked to find a piece of hard blue plastic in her mouth. The object (photos attached) was approximately 40mm long and clearly exceeds international standards for choke risk (7-25mm as per FDA CPG Sec. 555.425).

We were horrified at the potential impact of this foreign object on our daughter who has a history of a stomach perforation a few days after she was born. A life-saving operation was performed then, followed by a very specific medical baby formula for many months as her stomach remained a sensitive organ. This could have very easily resulted in a major medical incident.

I am sure that your facility must be Certified to a Food Safety Management System and within the framework of the site HACCP system, this is pointing to a PRP issue somewhere in your facility.

I would like a formal investigation and response around this incident from your site Technical team.

You may contact me via email [protected]@gmail.com or mobile number +[protected] for further information.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Mr. Shukri Jonkers

Tiger Brands Tastic rice

Hi. I bought a packet of Tastic rice at a local store in PE where i always buy my food. On opening the bag my daughter noticed something small and black in the rice.
On investigating closely we noticed it was small insects, crawling in the rice.
Manufacturing date 18.03.19 and
BBD 18.03.20. I am really dissapointed as im using Tastic Rice for as long as I can remember.
I would appreciate it if you can get back to me with an explanation please.
Thank you

Tiger Brands Old stock - fizzers

I purchased a bag of pink fizzers yesterday from pick 'n pay. I am incredibly disappointed the whole bag of fizzers are old they do not even fizz, instead of the fizzers being pink they are more almost white. What confuses me is that the expiry date say 24-01-2020 I have eaten my fair amount of fizzers in the past and can say that these are definitely not ok despite the expiry date. Not only will I not eat them I definitely will not let my family eat them therefore I am out of pocket the R49 I paid for them!

Hi
This is what I found at the bottom of the KOO baked beans that I bought. Tried to complain, they since said they will come to collect the van to investigate, it’s been over three weeks now.

Good Day
I'm writing with regards to my dissatisfaction about a product I recently purchased on 31/12/19 at my local Super Spar store. It was a tin of Koo Cream-style Sweetcorn.
Manufacturing date was 05/02/19 and best before date 05/02/2022.
Upon opening the tin I find the contents was watery and not creamy. I then strained the contents and find 250ml yellow water with mashed corn.
I am attaching photos for you to see.

Tiger Brands Jungle dark chocolate energy bar

I bought a jungle energy bar on the 28th June 2019 at BP garage in Belvedere street Claremont
I opened the chocolate and the colour was half grey and the chocolate was so stiff.
I couldn't eat it any further and my tummy started feeling weird.
Is there any way that you guys can compensate me for going through this mess.
I wasted money and now I'm sitting with a stomach that is runny and sore.

Tiger Brands Morvite cereal

I purchased 2 packets of morvite cereal in the beginning of march of which one had worms in it. I tried to return the product to the store I had bought it from, but as I no longer had my receipt they were not interested. Unfortunately this is not the first time this has happened, I feel I may need to reconsider my families source of breakfast,

Tiger Brands Ace

I'm writing to inform you about the disgust I have recently acquired when buying an ace product.
It has happened twice now where I buy ace chocolate porridge and have opened the package to find insects within..
The first time I let it slide and accepted a voucher for Checkers (30). The second time I found insects as I opened the package I complained and the service care consultant brushed it off and said I would be sent another voucher...for PnP R50 this time for an Ace product only and even though by now I had been put off the cereal completely I selected two packets of ace only to be embarrassed when the clerk told me the voucher was invalid. I have now spent time, money on fuel as well as airtime trying to resolve this matter but to have my dignity affected by having to leave the shop empty handed was the last straw...

Please contact me on my mobile +[protected]
ASAP if you truly care about your consumers.

Tiger Brands Beacon marshmallow easter eggs

Good day. We bought a box of 24 marshmallow Easter eggs in Somerset West (Cape Town) and a few of the eggs are half an egg and some are not sealed properly. I've attached photos of some of the eggs we have found to be like this. We love the product and buy a few boxes over the Easter period. But we're disappointed to find so many of the Easter eggs to be inconsistent in one box.

I am highly disappointed in this brand as I bought wonder bars for my son's lunch box 3 weeks agao just to find a maggot in the bar when he opened it up and his only 3 years old. Luckily I was woth at tge time he opened my concern is what if he had ate the bar, then I complained about this at pick n pay cavendish and they apologized. I then on wednesday 13 march 2019 bought golden cloud chocolate cupcake mix and there were maggots in the box I am highly upset and disappointed in this manufacturing company as this is a great concern to our health as customer and what to we get just an apology please can someone contact me soonest as to what is going to be done regarding this disgusting situation. I spoke to jeremy the branch manager at pick n pay cavendish square but his not the manufacturer he only sells the product from his store and thats not what I wana here, question is what if my 3 year old had ate the wonder bar this is just disgusting.
And to top it off there was some alive crawling hou disgusting is that and not only in the wonder bar also in the cupcake mix.

Tiger Brands Purity prune (just squeeze and eat)

Hi, I would like to complain about the product I bought for my baby which was the Purity prune. It was sealed when I was opening it but i notice there was dust coming out as i was opening it. So i squeezed it into a bowl and I notice it was rotten. I had to cut it so that I could see what it looks like inside, what I found was shocking to think I could have feed my baby that! I'm surprised because it shows that it will be expiring in October next year.

Kindly see attached pictures of the products I found wrotten.

The taste is horrible and it is smelly.

I have purchased about 12 of these and 3 of them are all wrotten. I did not open the rest.

I'm very worried as my son had a sip before we could pick up the fault. These were purchased at Dischem Tamboti Mall about 2 weeks ago.

Tiger Brands Lion popcorn

I bought the packet today at Sandown Checkers Cape Town. I started making the popcorn as per usual started to smell burning . Only half the popcorn popped I then thought the heat was to high. Took another pan and most of the popcorn burnt it didn't even pop. On the 3rd attempt I thought okay I can really not be this stupid. Most of the popcorn popped but still seeds left and burned. This is the first time this has happened and I am really upset about this.

I didn't think of laying a complaint but my mom advised me to do so.

Tiger Brands Undersized sparkle in packaging

I bought a packet of Sparkles summer berries at pick n pay Zeerust the other day(16/10/2018), as usual the product was good at the beginning but as I was finishing the product I found an undersized sweet. I am not happy about this as I expect everything in the package to be the same. I cannot ask to return the product as most of it has been consumed, so I don't know how to go further. I can be contacted via email : [protected]@live.com

Tiger Brands Jungle oats

Good Day

Hope you are well

I would like to place on record a complaint of my recent purchase.

I purchased the Tigerbrand Jungle Oats from the Shoprite store in Durban, Chatsworth two months ago, It was on sale so I got two 1kg boxes. The 1st box was consumed and we had no problem. On Saturday I opened the second box and was horrified with the contents. Jungle oats is a family favourite and my kids love it. I normally buy in bulk when they go on sale. I have attached pictures of the contents. The oats was had and was stuck to the box. It had formed a brown mouldy layer. I had to discard the entire box. This was my first incident with this product. I am very disappointed and will reconsider purchasing this kind of product again.

Your urgent feedback

I have received a call from the call centre agent apologising for the bad quality product - the blame was put on the storage factor. In compensation I was given a R50 voucher.

No thank you Tiger brands - but R50 wont change the bitter taste left by your product. Next time try harder!

I purchased a 1kg box of Jungle Oats last week. We eat oats daily and have been buying Jungle Oats for many years.
I noticed yesyerday on the bottom of the box a type of thick cobweb. On opening the box and emptying oats into another container I found on the inside of the box the same web and a little worm, still alive!
No knowing if there are more worms in the oats so I won't be eating them.
I feel the oats should be enclosed in a sealed plastic bag and I wont be buying them again until the packaging has been changed.
I have emailed Tiger Brands but haven't had a response yet.

Tiger Brands Easter eggs

I bought a box of Easter eggs on the 4th of March 2018.

All of the eggs' chocolate were white although it was brown chocolate eggs and according to the label it has not yet expired.
I took photo's of the brocade and expiry date.(see picture attached)
Unfortunately I bought it in the city and couldn't return it as I don't go there often.
I thus had to throw it away as I didn't feel comfortable with my kids eating it .
My kids love Easter eggs and I would like to be refunded in full.

My name is Alta and can be contacted at [protected]@yahoo.co.za
