Heartland Foods Recalls Cereal Products Over Safety Concerns
A voluntary recall has been issued for all cereal products manufactured by Heartland Foods, affecting products sold at Shoprite, Checkers, Usave, and OK Foods stores nationwide.
The recall follows the discovery of inaccurate nutritional labelling by the supplier. While there have been no consumer complaints, the retailers, after multiple interventions with Heartland Foods, have decided to proceed with the recall in the interest of consumer transparency and safety.
Customers who may have purchased these products can return it to their nearest supermarket for a full refund. Proof of purchase is not required and opened products may also be returned.
For any assistance with returning a product, call 0800 01 07 09.
The retailer apologises unreservedly for any inconvenience caused.
According to the announcement, Shoprite Holdings is committed to maintaining the highest standards of food safety, and its food scientists and technologists are working closely with the National Consumer Commission on this voluntary recall.
