Tiger Brands to recall identified Enterprise Products TIGER BRANDS LIMITED “Tiger Brands” or “the Company” (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number 1944/017881/06) Share code: TBS ISIN: ZAE000071080 TIGER BRANDS TO RECALL IDENTIFIED ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS Shareholders are informed that Enterprise Foods, a division of Tiger Brands, has been issued with an order by the National Consumer Commission to conduct a recall of Enterprise Polony, Enterprise Frankfurters and Enterprise Smoked Russians. Tiger Brands prioritises the health and safety of consumers above all else. To this end, we have, with immediate effect, undertaken a full national recall of the identified Enterprise ready-to-eat chilled processed meat product range. We have contacted all our customers to confirm that the recalled products are removed from their store shelves and will continue to work with authorities to ensure an effective and speedy recall. Additionally, we have suspended operations at both Enterprise manufacturing facilities (Polokwane and Germiston) and have halted supply to trade. We are currently undertaking enhanced deep cleaning protocols which include: - Oxy-acid dosing units fitted to the rotary coolers to provide a bacterium kill in the cooling water. This is over and above the salt which has historically been added as a bacterium kill; - Increased sanitisation of the packing table through additional spray sanitisers at the pack station and auto- dosing units to be installed; and - A change to the application of sell-by date codes from stamping to ink jet printing is in the process of being implemented given the possibility of pin-holing of casing in the coding process for any packed products. After consultation with the National Consumer Commission, a full communication plan, including print, radio and online communication, has been rolled out, to help us reach consumers who have Enterprise products in their home. Since the confirmed outbreak of Listeriosis by the Department of Health in December 2017, the company proactively amplified its testing for Listeria of raw materials and finished goods and also introduced additional hygiene monitoring of our processes, equipment, storage and waste areas at our facilities. Although our testing had detected listeria at low levels (<10 Colony Forming Units (CFUs)), which is well within the current industry guidelines (SANS 885), in a batch of one product on 14 February 2018, the presence of the ST6 strain had not been confirmed by our tests. The relevant samples have been sent to an external laboratory for the identification of the strain, and results are expected back on 5 March 2018. We have been actively engaging the Department of Health and the National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) on our findings and have openly collaborated with them on the actions taken to date to actively address our findings. Tiger Brands acknowledges that it is dealing with an extremely serious issue that pertains to people’s personal health and wellbeing and we want to assure all South Africans that we are dealing with this matter with the utmost urgency. Tiger Brands will issue further communication as any new information becomes available. Bryanston 5 March 2018 Sponsor J.P.
