Subject: Used folded tissue paper in my Maynard wine duos
To: <tige***@tigerbrands.com>


I bought my pack at PicknPay Minimarket.

I enjoyed my wine gums while watching TV and when going to the last the texture was simply foreign to me. When inspecting, I discovered that it was a folded used tissue paper.

Just imagine if it is/was infected with Covid-19?

I don't think I will ever buy your products again.

I have attached photos for your reference. I am also tempted to put it on Twitter and tack Tiger Brands. I will keep that used tissue in case you need it for internal checks.

I purchased a Beacon Niki Cashew & Coconut 80g Slab, Barcode: 6001120620776
MAN 03/11/2020
BB 03/09/2021 A3
At my local Spar (Kwik Spar, First Ave, Walmer, Port Elizabeth, 6070) on 06/03/2021. The chocolate had absolutely no cashew nuts in it and after eating some of it, I was left with a strange "stale" aftertaste.

I bought a can of Pie apple slices from Jumbo Crown Mines in December 2020.The expiry date on the can clearly reflects 06/08/2022.When I opened the can to use in March 2021, the content looked like mashed potatoes instead of Apple slices and the content also had a funny smell.

I called the "Tiger Consumer Brands Limited" Consumer Careline 0860 100 891 on 02 March 2021 and was assisted by a lady by the name of Patricia (Trish). I provided Trish with all the information she required and an SMS was sent to me with a reference number "TB2103020061" on 02 March 2021.

In the SMS sent to me, I was requested to forward pictures of each visible batch via whatsapp to cell number 0789926377 of which I did on 02 March 2021. The SMS also stated that I will received feedback or correspondence within 72 working hours.To date , I have had no feedback from Tiger Brands.

Please refer to photos attached to this compliant

Please advise the way forward.

Kids complained of Jungle bars tasting strange - i asked them to bring it home and not throw it away as they have been doing for the last few weeks. Attached is a pic of what was found.
Disgusted.

The haze heaven milk chocolate had a funny taste on consumption and the appearance was not the usual one. The bar code number is 6 00 1120 620653.

Sometime last month we bought cake flour at Checkers Nicolway in Brynston. Last week wanted to use the flour only to find it bad, it had threads and worms.
We called your customer service line on Friday 19th and spoke to some Liezel and gave her all the details of the flour and she promised to attend to our complaint. She didn't give us the reference number for the call and when I asked for it, she promised to send it directly to my phone but to date we haven't heard from her nor do we have the reference that was promised. I am not sure what does that suggests, if is that's Tiger brands treats customers or is it the issue of that individual because I'm still waiting for feedback and on the same token we are very much inconvenienced because we are now sitting with the flour and not sure what to do with it.

I bought a pack of Sparkles "Tropical Fruit" (Tiger Brands - Beacon). The packaging clearly advertises a seemingly equal distribution of green, yellow and red colours/flavours, yet inside the pack was only green and yellow sweets. The one and only red sweet was a misshapen runt about a quarter of the proper size. Very disappointed since the red ones are my favourite and is the main reason I bought the product. I would love to be refunded for this.

I often purchase the Sparkles sweets for my daughter. I purchased the Sparkles again from my local Spar. There were empty sealed wrappers in the packet, as well as another brand of sweet in the incorrect packet as well.
