Shoprite and Checkers recalls 170g cans of Cape Point Light Meat Shredded Tuna in Water

As a precaution, Shoprite and Checkers are initiating a voluntary recall of 170g cans of Cape Point Light Meat Shredded Tuna in Water due to the possibility of cans with defective double seams.

To date, both companies have not received any complaints and this action is being taken out of an abundance of caution.

The voluntary recall is limited to products with the following production code: EEJCK BPHGS01. (The production date is 23/07/2021 and best before date is 23/07/2024.)

Cape Point Light Meat Shredded Tuna in Water products in 170g cans with different product codes from the one listed here are not affected by this recall, and neither are any other Cape Point products. To locate the production code, consumers should look at the bottom of the can.

Consumers who may have purchased the product listed above should not consume it but instead, return it to their nearest Shoprite or Checkers store for a full refund.

If you require any assistance with finding the production code or returning a product, please contact 0800 01 07 09 or email consumerc@shoprite.co.za / consumer@shoprite.co.za

Kindly consult a medical professional for advice and guidance if you have any concerns after consuming the affected product.

We are working closely with and will continue to cooperate with the National Consumer Commission on this voluntary recall.

The quality and safety of our products are the top priority for our business. We understand that customers will be concerned and apologise unreservedly for any concern and inconvenience caused by this voluntary recall.
