Wider recall of pilchards products
The National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications has ordered all formal wholesalers, retailers and informal traders to remove the 400-gram Pilchards in tomato sauce - as well as chilli sauce from their shelves with immediate effect.
The Regulator says it's investigation revealed a deficiency in the canning process at West Point Processors based in Cape Town, in 2019.
It stretches far wider than the original recall at Checkers, Shoprite and OK.
Some of the cans were comprised during the sauce filling process and the fish could, therefore, affect the safety of consumers.

• Deep Catch
• Mammas
• OK Housebrand
• Prime Ocean
