The National Consumer Commission has referred BM Foods Manufacturers to its tribunal to impose a R1m fine after Listeria traces were found in its hummus products.
The Deli Hummus range was being sold at Shoprite Checkers stores.
This referral follows a recall initiated by Shoprite Checkers in September 2024, affecting the particular range which tested positive for the presence of the harmful microorganism Listeria monocytogenes. This bacteria poses serious health risks, particularly to pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened or compromised immune systems.
