Here’s how to tell if you should return your tinned vegetables

If your tin of vegetables matches any of the barcodes below, you should return it to the supermarket for a full refund, says National Consumer Commissioner Thezi Mabuza. This comes as Tiger Brands announced a recall of certain KOO and Hugo’s canned products due to defective cans.

The canned vegetables in question were produced from 1 May 2019 to 5 May 2021. According to Tiger Brands, the recall is as a result of a side seam weld defect that may cause a leak. The National Consumer Commission (NCC) is urging consumers to return the affected products to any retail store.

The following canned products form part of the recall:

“We urge consumers who have these products in their possession to verify the barcodes as well as manufacturing dates and if they form part of the recall, should immediately return these products to any retail store for a full refund with or without any receipt,” said Acting Commissioner Mabuza.

In terms of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), consumers have a right to fair value, good quality and safety.

“While the Commission is pleased with Tiger Brands’ investigation into this problem and the precautionary recall, consumer safety comes first, therefore, the Commission will only rest when all these products are removed from the market and consumers get their refunds. Our inspectors are monitoring the recall based on the Recall Guidelines,” she said.
