Tiger Brands Wilson's cream caramels 150g

As a treat for my family, I splurged and bought us the 150g box of cream Caramels as a reward for the hard week we have just endured. We were really excited to share out our box only to find that the contents were stale and hard. The taste was still as I remember however the outer layer is hard and detracts from the full enjoyment of the product, especially considering the price paid for them nowadays.

Desired outcome: Replacement of product

Tiger Brands Jungle Oats Instant

I have purchased 3 boxes of Banana Instant Oats at Pick and Pay. I have find weevils (bugs) in the packets. I have lodge an complain over 3 weeks ago and still No answer from you as a company. This was also on a special at the time. So I don't know if it was a way to get rid of old stock or was it a problem. I can see on the internet that you have a lot of issues with your products lately but don't seem to care about the customer. Very sad

Desired outcome: Replacement

Tiger Brands Black cat chunky peanut butter

We found several stones in our peanut butter. We bought it beginning of May. At first thought it was a peanut that was just hard but found several more stones. Kids aren't very happy because they love the chunky peanut butter but are now afraid to eat it and don't want me to buy black cat anymore.
Kind regards

Tiger Brands Beacon red wrapper tv bar chocolate

Today the 07.04.2021, I purchased a TV bar choc from the BP garage in Hammarsdale near Buckman Boulevard street.
The chocolate was stale.
The chocolate stuck to my palet and was oily and gruesome.
I feel so sick now.

This was my favorite chocolate ever.
This is my second episode of buying a stale tv bar from the same garage.

Bar code [protected]

Very dissatisfied.

Tiger Brands Golden cloud

I found worms in a 2.5kg Golden Cloud wheat flour that I bought from Pick n Pay Willows crossing. I bought this when I was doing my monthly grocery shopping at the end of January.
A week later I wanted to bake, that's when I discovered the worms (I think they are maggots) in the flour. Initially I thought it was just 1 but when I looked closer I saw a bunch of tiny ones moving in the flour.
I contacted Tiger brands informing them about this on the same day (7th of February). I sent them pictures of the packet, the worms, as well as the barcode hoping that would give them as much information as possible to have this resolved.

I kept the packet flour sealed in a plastic bag just in case they would need more details. After not receiving a response from them for a few weeks, I threw the plastic out because I believe it posed a health risk to me and my family.
I then sent a follow up email on the 24th of February - someone called me a few days later saying my query has been escalated.

A few weeks passed again - I then sent another follow up on the 8th of March; till today no one has come back to me.

I must say I am beyond disappointed at how my query is being, rather not being handled.
All I wanted was them to acknowledge my query, investigate the batch of flours that my bag belonged to, refund me my money, and assure a concerned customer that they have followed all health and quality protocols to ensure that no other customer goes through this. I mean it's a health risk after all.

What Tiger Brands has shown me with the way my query was handled is that:
1. They do not care about their customers.
2. Health, quality, good customer service and brand reputation is not on their priority list.
3. All they are worried about is the bottom line- making profit.

As much as I love this brand, I had to convince myself every week not to put this online and on social media platforms to avoid negative effects that my complaint might have on the brand (no matter how small); but now I see that I'm the only one whose being considerate - Tiger Brand see's me as just another Rand.

Regards
Beyond disappointed customer.

Please contact me very urgently on Tel No [protected] alternatively please email me on serena.[protected]@icg.edu.za.

Tiger Brands Bad Golden Cloud flour and bad customer service

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.

Tiger Brands Purity Squeeze

I purchased the purity puree squeeze for my 1 year old last week and today upon opening the squeeze a green hard substance came out of the sachet. This is very unhealthy not to mention a health hazard as how many other squeeze products contain the very same substance and what health hazards could it have caused had I given it to my Baby without checking first.

Desired outcome: Refund

Tiger Brands Purity squash

I have been trying to contact the customer service line from yesterday. Previously to this I had lodge a complaint and a consultant had contacted me and given me a reference number and all.
On the 7th of December 2020 I had opened the purity squash and it was a sweet potato, apple and sweet corn flavor. It was for my son who is 8 months old. It had a black substance coming out of it.
I then tried to put the purity back in to keep it and lodge a complaint. Two weeks back a consultant contacted me saying that the courier service people were trying to contact me on my cell phone. I told her that if I do not answer the cell you can contact me on my work number in which they have.
Then she said if they cannot get a hold of me they are going to dismiss this complaint and all, which is [censored].

At the moment I still have the purity at home kept just like that. How do you guys expect people to buy these products if they end up rotten and all.

Please contact me on my cell - [protected]

Tiger Brands Shelf packing staff aggression and non-compliance to covid 19

Good Day Team,

I trust you are well and safe.

I would like to complain about a packing employee that I had an altercation with. She was not wearing her name badge and refused to give me her name. She was wearing her company clothes. 

She does not understand how social distance works. She was extremely aggressive when I asked her to not push against me. 
We waited at the till and she was withdrawing cash from the till in front of us. When she was done she moved back towards the shop instead of out. With this, she pushed passed me moving me out of the way by touching me.

The aggression is the part that worries me more than getting COVID 19 due to her incompetence and blatant disrespect for the law.
She needed to go out and sanitize again to get into the shop as per the law. She just touched the cashier's hands and got money without sanitizing anything.

This happened at Checkers ArconPark at 13:00 on 28/07/2020 Cnr Arum Street &, Ring Rd, Arcon Park, Vereeniging, South Africa

I really hope that this gets investigated and resolved for her own safety as well as the rest of society.

Thank you

Tiger Brands tv bar, dark chocolate

Good day

I have tried calling the customer care number as well as the head office number. Both attempts were unsuccessful

I have had a terrible experience when opening up a chocolate to give my 2 and a half year old daughter a chocolate.

There were worms in the chocolate

I am definitely very upset about this because my daughter touched 2 of those mentioned worms before I noticed the chocolate had holes in it.

You can return my call, [protected]

Thank you

Tiger Brands Beacon mallows off

We love the beacon mallows and they are our absolute favorite for years, we keep on buying the big box and we're so disappointed as when we opened the new box and the taste was off, we double checked the expiry date and it was fine, we tried again the next day and still the taste was not the same as always, both my husband and I had the same taste like soap / cardboard taste, not sure what could be the problem... Now we sitting with a full box of easter egg mallows that cannot be devoured and we on lockdown during easter 😔
