South Africaissued a recall of all processed meat products and ordered the closure of some processing plants,including two belonging to Tiger Brands, in March after the disease killed more than 200 people.The resumption of operations at the Polokwane facility comes two months after parent companyTiger Brands reopened its Germiston factory in Gauteng, which began producing ready-to-cookproducts like bacon and pork sausages in October.According to a statement released by Tiger Brands, on 6 December 2018, the CapricornMunicipality's Environmental Health Department provided the company with an officialCertificate of Acceptability for the Polokwane factory after "rigorous assessments" werecompleted, giving the company licence to resume production. The certificate endorses thefactory's standards and operating procedures for the safe production of food products.Stricter safety standardsFollowing the outbreak, Tiger Brands states firmer guidance is being provided to the industry onsafety standards for the production of ready-to-eat chilled processed meats. "The Department ofHealth has referred the industry to the CODEX standard, which says that for finished ready-to-eatproducts which promote growth of the bacteria, there must be zero listeria detection inproducts, both as they leave the factories as well as to the point of sale," says Lawrence MacDougall, Tiger Brands' CEO.The industry has also agreed to mandatory implementation of the Hazard Analysis and CriticalControl Points (HACCP) protocol, which is a Food Safety Management program. "HACCP allows forthe identification of hazards and the implementation of control measures to ensure that risks aremanaged."Enterprise Foods specifically has introduced a 7-Step Quality Check process to enable greatertransparency to consumers across the entire farm-to-table value chain in the production of meatproducts. These details will appear on-pack, as well as on the Enterprise Foods website.Centre for Food SafetyThe company has also committed to playing "a leading role in driving a multisectoral approach",aimed at enhancing food safety in the country. "We recognise the tremendous responsibility wehave as a business to move beyond compliance and the standards we have in South Africa and tobe at the forefront of solutions that give assurance to all South Africans - whether they eat ourproducts or not that the food safety system is robust," Mac Dougall said. "The Centre for FoodSafety, which we launched in collaboration with the Stellenbosch University on the 6th ofNovember, is a critical milestone in this quest."The Centre is an applied food science research consortium and is being independently run by theStellenbosch University. It will conduct food science and food safety research to provide expertopinion and academic support to the industry, and to help government ensure that food safetyregulations are based on sound scientific evidence. It will also play a leading role in consumereducation on food-related issues.Tiger Brands is the founding member of the Centre for Food Safety and has dedicated R10 millionto the Centre's operations.
