  1. This was posted 13 days ago. I'm assuming any peanut butter currently on the shelf has now been tested and is considered safe (other than the seed oils and other crap they put it in)

  2. I can show you what happened to the SABS in Port elizabeth. It's a looted abandoned building.
    I bought Checkers brand peanut butter. It's tasteless and darker than usual. I thought there was something wrong with my pallet. Taste horrible. Can I take mine back to CHECKERS?
    I bought yum yum and black cat. No more No Name brands for me

  3. This is really unacceptable! How on earth did this get to the shelves? I am so tired of all the things going wrong in SA. Our kids eat this regularly. I won't purchase again. The Tuna in containers tastes like chemicals I dont purchase that either

  4. I will always be greatful to individuals, such as Barbara Oniel for warning us about such a matter, she is one of the health activists who was sensored. It turns out she was right all the time. 😢

  5. How can you put products on the shelves without testing them.?Do you know now how many people ate this products. Don't get any surprise when the people get sick because you let the poison to be sold to them freely.Please be serious to take care of people's health.The biologist are there in our country.They have studied. (Oh like peanut butter oh please.")

  6. African produce products are rejected to cripple or discourage AFRICANS creativity.

    Them who presume they are the entitled examiner to authorise consumables for AFRICANS, has lied, to steal, intimidate, manipulate and kill a person to own or have a bigger share of the self initiative persons process, which has nothing to do with health danger.

    Religious people are a nuisance.

  7. Back in the days we had a poloney problem. Taken off the shelf. Peanut butter now. I am sure we are Missing other brands that are serious. Get the inspection done right, health risks or other. South Africa is showing negative impact. Regards 🇿🇦.

  8. We need to know what has been done to punish the businesses .
    Secondly, what about those that have consumed it. Most and some consumers may not even get this message. The reactionary approach is problematic. Should be more proactive.

  9. Please stop blaming EHPs for every famble in the food chain. Inspections are visual, how would you see from shelf? A few years ago National Food Control use to have monthly chemical sampling runs. These don't happen anymore, making Environmental Health Practitioners fall guys for decision makers in the Food Directorate

  10.
