Tiger Brands reopens Enterprise Foods factory in PolokwaneReady-to-eat chilled processed meats, such as polony and viennas, will soon return to shelvesfollowing the reopening of the Enterprise Foods factory in Polokwane, Limpopo. 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.

I know that some ofthat trust has been lost as a result of the listeriosis crisis and that we need to earn back that trustover time through our actions and by keeping our word," said Mac Dougall.

m SC MAERSK World's biggest shipping giants send vessels towards SA amid Suez blockage The world's biggest shipping container companies have redirected their vessels to the route around South Africa as the Suez Canal remains blocked. On Saturday, The Guardian reported that the world's biggest shipping group Maersk has rerouted two of its ships, and in a statement issued late on Friday, the second-biggest company Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) announced that eleven of its vessels have been rerouted around the coast of South Africa.

India is home to some of the world’s deadliest roads. However, international automobile makers do not provide standard safety features in entry-level cars sold in India that are required in other developed countries. India’s death toll on the roads has ranked top in the world for eight straight years, exceeding 130,000 fatalities a year. Despite this, automakers strip safety features such as air bags and antilock brakes out of the cars most people in India drive. They argue that Indian consumers cannot afford or are not willing to pay for safety features that could increase the cost of the car by 30 percent or more. Some manufacturers have begun to offer more safety features as standard in their models. But other producers are offering them only as an option, and some are not offering them at all to maintain price competitiveness. Is it right for manufacturers to include product safety features that are known to save lives in countries that require them but not to include such features…
