- Consumers possessing various peanut butter brands manufactured by House of Natural Butters are urged to return them to the point of purchase. The National Consumer Commission is conducting a nationwide assessment of South African peanut butter to establish whether they have been affected by aflatoxins, which can cause health complications. More peanut butter brands have been withdrawn from the shelves at Pick n Pay, alongside those sold at Dischem, Clicks, Faithful to Nature and other health shops. The commission has advised the public to immediately stop consuming these products and return them to the store they bought them from for a full refund, with or without proof of purchase. For more on this matter, we are joined virtually by the Acting Commissioner of the National Consumer Commission, Thezi Mabuza.

This is why we need to plant our own food
Anc is not ready to return land to the natives
You gonna make your own peanut butter?
Yes.
@@yungdsastar4392It’s actually not rocket science! Check videos on it. It’s very easy.
How many products we are buying are not tested❓❓❓❓This is a serious matter, it should not be taken lightly
Students who did molecular biology and microbiology are unemployed in SA, they are the ones who were supposed to do molecular testing and microbial identification before these products are released to public, but what can I say companies are no willing to give them a chance.❤❤
The government is responsible
Imagine the people, customers that dnt know anything about this? & hw long they have been consuming it. (what a mess).
One manufacturer, one peanut butter batch, 3 different prices...No-name being the cheapest. 😅😅😅
Classic example of why paying more does not equate to being healthier or looking prettier...
It's like that woolies polony story that was found to have been made by Escort
This is all because of the overprocessing of a simple product, go into rural Africa, find out how traditional peanut butter is made, no BS, just 100% natural ingredients, natural processes and very delicious, healthy peanut butter
Well said.
Its a mould that they are talking about. Peanuts are the Highest in this mould thats why we shouldn't eat peanuts. I dont . Coffee also has this mould as well as all other nuts, But peanuts gets this mould days after harvesting
@@sandyseale1 I farm a whole range of nuts from groundnuts, almonds, chestnut, macadamia and others. These things come from inadequacies in harvesting, processing for storage or packaging for resale. What this means is that the quality of peanuts across the whole industry was under par, screeners were untrained meaning that even the production line was compromised. Perhaps you could blame it on load shedding or something else but if the protocols were followed correctly you wouldn't be in this kind of a mess. Producing peanut butter is a very meticulous process, but it is also very simple, you can only overprocess it so much before you run into an issue with your product. Keep it simple and you will not have a problem
Exactly. It is these commercial products that usually have problems. Emakhaya things don't go through too much overprocessing.
Mate these are cheap brands. Just buy the more expensive brands if you're tht worried about your health
Toxic peanut butter, huh?...
That's nuts! 😮
I will always be greatful to individuals, such as Barbara Oniel for warning us about such a matter, she is one of the health activists who was sensored. It turns out she was right all the time. 😢
I love that woman. She made me stop eating peanut butter a long time ago.
Back in the days we had a poloney problem. Taken off the shelf. Peanut butter now. I am sure we are Missing other brands that are serious. Get the inspection done right, health risks or other. South Africa is showing negative impact. Regards 🇿🇦.
There has to be serious consequences for this. How do you send out millions of products without proper tests?
The same way dischem sells you "healthy organic" peanut butter - but it is the exact same mass produced product with different label's. 😂😂🤣😂. Lot's of Sandton housewives, livid no doubt.
To answer your question all products you buy in a general grocery store (and apparently health shops) are produced with a best effort recipe sampled randomly. You might just happen to get the crate that higher levels of certain compounds due to aging equipment and the like. i.e. all the ingredients weren't evenly stirred into the mixture so some bottles had too much of the feared chemicals.
That is bad man. Nothing is safe@@idiotinspector
Lies again? HDB Paris Skipped Training
I am in the food industry. Where are the micro results prior to the tubs going on the shelves?
Microbiological tests do not test for toxins. It tests for micro organisms (bacteria , yeasts, fungi, etc) You should know that. I worked in a micro laboratory for years.
Micro tests doesn't show the presence of toxins. It shows the presence of micro organisms
So how safe is anything bought off the shelves now?
Basically it's all a gamble
We leave in God's grace 🎉 my dearest .....it's just a matter of who is authorising it
South Africa, there you have it no compliance and no accountable department it is sad😢😢
We live in God's mercy jndeed😮😮
In today's world, there is a pervasive sense of skepticism towards the authenticity of products labeled as "natural" or "organic." It is disheartening to discover that many items marketed as such often contain ingredients that contradict these claims. The dissonance between what is advertised and what is actually present in these products can leave consumers feeling deceived. Returning to fundamental practices such as preparing meals from scratch and cultivating one's own produce emerges as an appealing solution. However, this inclination is often challenged by the demands of modern society, where convenience and speed often take precedence over the quality and integrity of the food we consume. It is crucial to recognize that in our pursuit of efficiency and material possessions, we must not overlook the importance of prioritizing our well-being and health.
Does anyone remember the foil seal that used to be on the bottles of peanut butter, butter, and other food products.
What about Shoprite Ritebrand?
At what point does common sense by the consumer play a role though? It is impossible to completely control everything. This was found because the consumer's peanut butter looked off.. why aren't we being told what signs to look for so we can make sure it's not in ours. Sounds like an extreme way to handle this and a HUGE waste of food that is probably perfectly fine!
I saw this while eating a peanut butter sandwich and tea for breakfast 🥴
🤣🤣🤣Yoh askies😹😹
Eish sorry 😂
Wasn’t there also an irregular and concerning find in fruit juices?
They must recall all stock from all spaza shops
If this was bought in a foreign tuckshops ekasi EFF and other parties would be making noise and wanting shops to close
Over 150 kids died from Listeriosis and no one went to jail. No compensation we are at the mercy of greedy companies
This happens when buying from small farmers without any real traceability. Hence enterprise development is key to upcoming farmers
This was posted 13 days ago. I'm assuming any peanut butter currently on the shelf has now been tested and is considered safe (other than the seed oils and other crap they put it in)
The covid jabs were not properly tested either
🤣
Great answers from Thezi
Be careful of Goody Thokoman Peanut Butter. The product I bought was also very dark but I'm sure they haven't even tested all peanut butters in our country. How disappointing.
Why is our Govt not monitoring anything? Why are they not willing to do things right?
Shocking, thank you for sharing!
I eat this more than food. Is black cat effected?
This is really unacceptable! How on earth did this get to the shelves? I am so tired of all the things going wrong in SA. Our kids eat this regularly. I won't purchase again. The Tuna in containers tastes like chemicals I dont purchase that either
Here in vereeniging there is a butcher called VDM meats company in three rivers it sells meat which is unknown it might be cat meat or donkey meat I was so disappointed when i complained and asked for refund they refused and after all it wasn't beef I am still wondering what really did i eat with my family because all of us we vomited and my kids had rush I can't say much but we are eating poison out there
What about Blackcat Peanut butter, this is worrying
Why the packaging products still distribute being on shelves never tested before manufacturing that's ridiculous?
Are they calling back all peanut butter brands or only some of them?
How then are shops still selling peanut butter on shelves even saw at Game
I can show you what happened to the SABS in Port elizabeth. It's a looted abandoned building.
I bought Checkers brand peanut butter. It's tasteless and darker than usual. I thought there was something wrong with my pallet. Taste horrible. Can I take mine back to CHECKERS?
I bought yum yum and black cat. No more No Name brands for me
Is there an update from Black cat 😢?
Since the list keeps updating and they say it can lead to cancer development can black cat yum yum actually state their safe before they also end up here this is pretty serious
the problem is the percentage of aflatoxins allowed. check out the foodstuffs disinfections and cosmetic acts. there are tolerances for about any substance, that in the long run can cause serious illness in the long run. It does not kill you immediately, but should you consume such products on a regular basis it wreck havoc on a cellular level.
I have been having Pnp peanut butter sandwiches for 3days now….very worries now
Whatever happened to the traditional brands? Nowadays we have so many new name brands... Selling at cheap prices. I rather do without than try these cheap ones that I don't trust.
I bought one from dis chem, every time I eat it I felt sick. Now I know why.😢
I was wondering why we become sick, bloated, stomach pains n etc. after we eat peanut butter n bread
Is it all retailers i bought mine shoprite brand?
Were do this Peanut butter go to???
But peanut butter l don't think it needs all of those
Why add some of the things in it
What about us. who. ate it.
Class action lawsuit
Throw up
we'll see them in court
Are you looking for a payout?
@@desertstar223 What’s the issue if people are looking for a payout?
02:48 on high aflatoxins: “it can be life threatening, it can damage the liver, it is genotoxic damaging DNA, and it can cause cancer” must the affected consumers just let that slide?
That name is part of brand, so they also make money on us as well
The department of Agriculture are suppose to inspect locally produce perishable products destined for the local market. NRCS who overpay there Managers (R1,2 Mil/pa for a quality manager with only a food tech diploma and 4yrs experience) are suppose to inspect imported perishable products. The latter 2 does not do their work properly. P.P.E.C.B. regulates South African perishable products that are exported.
All the way from South Africa I'm gonna take a try
Throwing away all my peanut butter, never buying black cat yum yum mxm...done with these brands...gambling with our lives...
Does this affect Simple Truth as well?
Also wondering!
Are we Black cats safe? I just bought I big jar 😢🙆🏾♀️
😂
😂
This is so scary and disappointing!!!
We need to know what has been done to punish the businesses .
Secondly, what about those that have consumed it. Most and some consumers may not even get this message. The reactionary approach is problematic. Should be more proactive.
5:34 I didnt like the taste of lifestyle Dischem so I switched to Woolworths much better.
some factories produce for different retailers. might just tweek ingredients here and there based on retailers requirement and of course different labels as per retailer. I use to work in the food industry and we produce beans for different retailers and just have different formulation of the sause as per retailers requirement.
Not surprised this is south africa 😂😂😂
This sounds like business subbotage from other competitors. The News Caster and the interviewee can not substantiate the allegations. Where is the actual report from the lab test?
You dont know what you're talking about. Please go and educate yourself on afla toxin production in peanuts. Maybe you'll learn something.
@@desertstar223 @lennoxmuteto is not too from fact. remember this happened in the poultry industry to kill the local supply in favor of imports. there is a rise in independent manufacturers and to slow them down, a recall is initiated.
Are you saying there were no toxins found?
@@trustmub1 Drown in your own stupid conspiracy theories. Provide evidence for your outlandish, brain dead theories. Otherwise, SHUT UP!
@@trustmub1 Believe your own unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. What you allege has no basis in reality. You think farmers are just willingly gonna kill their livelihood because of some government plot? Did you struggle in school, because you seem very dumb.
I just watched the video and have a feeling that yum-yum are also effected. I had some toast with peanut butter this morning and not long after experiencing nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting. Thought it’s a tummy bug but now I’m not so sure 😳
Same here
Make sure you see a doctor... ❤
Any outcome?
My love peanut butter.and when I came home today, I found that their dad brought Thokoman peanut butter. Is the brand safe?
Where's SABS? Can't be replaced by Environmentalists
What I know is that in manufacturing every batch is sent SABS for testing so here they didn't do that we arrests everywhere.
Hello I'm a bit worried about this peanut butter products becausIe I have it every morning I purchased from Dischem.also at present I'm having Yum Yum from Spar.but this is worrying
I thought I have a tummy bug or something but after watching the video it might be the yum yum peanut butter I had on my toast this morning
Our kids even eat peanut butter and my son loves it. If it wasn't because a consumer they wouldn't even know 😢😢😢
I already bought dose brands, , I used to buy 2 per month since, what happened to de customers who might be sick because of dis
ts a mould that they are talking about. Peanuts are the Highest in this mould thats why we shouldn't eat peanuts. I dont . Coffee also has this mould as well as all other nuts, But peanuts gets this mould days after harvesting
Mmmm...am skeptical about all this hyp....we use "Simple Truth" peanut butter everyday with no additives, fresh and delicious and we are all well & healthy
Can this be TRUE???
And i just bought peanut butter 😭
Is the Woolworths brand peanut butter okay to consume?
My son loves Black Cat Peanut butter , i have recently bought one from Game must i be worried?
How can you put products on the shelves without testing them.?Do you know now how many people ate this products. Don't get any surprise when the people get sick because you let the poison to be sold to them freely.Please be serious to take care of people's health.The biologist are there in our country.They have studied. (Oh like peanut butter oh please.")
MXM THEN AFTER ITS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE JUST LIKE EGGS AND POTATOES SOUTH LATENA SHAME
your smart!
Sounds jst like SA, the ability to do the ryt thing anymore in the country is an under statement.
At this point I wish I would have actualized my dream of growing everything myself n stopped being lazy n fearful because I actually know nothing about growing anything organic, but it's deeply routed desire to consume pure organic things
Pick n Pay peanutbutter?
Is yum yum safe to eat it
Nah we need to SUE!!!
Mrs Maharaj Phoenix
Try the peanut butter from Crede or Buttanutt
I am eating peanut butter sandwich with honey every day on breakfast its delicious stop taking bullshit about peanut butter 😋
Its not bullshit but becareful and stop it as well...😅
Please stop blaming EHPs for every famble in the food chain. Inspections are visual, how would you see from shelf? A few years ago National Food Control use to have monthly chemical sampling runs. These don't happen anymore, making Environmental Health Practitioners fall guys for decision makers in the Food Directorate
South Africa is on auto pilot
😂😂😂 I agree with you hundred percent. We don't have leadership in our country.
🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾This is why you must vote for the EFF get your land and start planting. The entire country depends on🌾🌾🌾 process food....
