JUNGLE OATS | WEEVIL INFESTATION

Dear Tiger Brands,

I am writing to raise an urgent and serious complaint regarding a recent purchase of Jungle Oats from Checkers.

Upon wanting to use this product, I discovered that the oats were infested with live weevil insects. This is a major food safety hazard and completely unacceptable for a product sold by a national retailer. In addition to the infestation, the packaging shows conflicting expiry and manufacturing dates on different panels of the same sealed box, which raises further concerns about the integrity and handling of these products.

This combination of pest contamination and inconsistent labelling strongly suggests improper storage, mishandling, and compromised stock.

I request immediate action from Tiger Brands, including: 1. A formal investigation into how contaminated stock was allowed on your shelves. 2. Clarification regarding the conflicting expiry dates. 3. Confirmation of the safety of other Jungle Oats products currently being sold. 4. A full refund or replacement for the affected items. 5. Assurance of corrective measures to prevent this from recurring. I expect this matter to be addressed with urgency, given the clear health and safety risks involved.

I have sent this message directly to Tiger Brands, and to date, I am still awaiting a response.

KR,
