About 20 million blikkies of KOO and Hugo's canned veggies, which were produced from 1 May 2019 to 5 May 2021 were being recalled due to defective cans.
Tiger Brands said a small number of cans supplied by a packaging supplier might have a defective side seam weld that could cause the blikkie to leak.
“The issue was first identified as part of routine quality control procedures. Investigations identified a deficiency in the side seam weld of cans manufactured by a third-party supplier.
“No health issues have been reported to date relating to the affected product range,” it said in a statement.
The company said it was working with its retail and wholesale customers to remove all affected products from store shelves and replace them with fresh stock.
Tiger Brands encouraged consumers to check their food shelves at home and to return affected products to their nearest supermarket or wholesale outlet for a refund.
“KOO canned products forming part of the recall produced from 1 May 2019 to 5 May 2021 can be identified by looking at the manufacturing date code stamped on the bottom or the top of the can. The manufacturing date appears in the first line following the letters MAN,” Tiger Brands said.
The list includes baked beans, sweetcorn, and mixed veggies among others.
