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 our Polokwane factory. This follows environmental swabs taken at the factory on 2 February 2018. We are directing all our efforts, energy and time to determine how this could have occurred.The health and safety of our customers is our number one priority. I am 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 any further 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. We will leave no stone unturned to get to the bottom of this to ensure it does not happen again. says Lawrence MacDougall, CEO of Tiger Brands
