Tiger Brands issues recall of Benny Beef and Chicken Stock Cubes over labelling error
Tiger Brands has issued a precautionary voluntary recall of its Benny Beef Flavoured Stock Cubes and Benny Chicken Flavoured Stock Cubes due to inaccurate nutritional labelling on the packaging.
The recall applies to products with a best-before date of July 31, 2027 or earlier, the company said in a media statement on Thursday.
“Tiger Brands is initiating a precautionary voluntary recall of its Benny Beef Flavoured Stock Cubes and Benny Chicken Flavoured Stock Cubes, manufactured for its Culinary Division by a third-party supplier, due to inaccurate nutritional labelling on the pack,” the statement said.
The company added that the decision followed consultation with the National Consumer Commission (NCC), despite no consumer complaints having been received.
“This decision is in line with its commitment to the highest quality standards and in the best interests of its consumers.”
Tiger Brands said it is working with retail and wholesale customers to remove all impacted Benny stock cube products from store shelves.
“This precautionary voluntary recall does not include any other products marketed and sold under the Benny brand.”
The company said the products forming part of this recall include the 12, 24 and 48 cube pack sizes of Benny Flavoured Stock Cubes in Beef and Chicken flavour with a Best Before date of July 31, 2027 or any date prior.
It called on customers to return the affected products to the place of purchase, whether a supermarket, wholesaler or retail outlet, or contact the consumer careline.
“Consumers are encouraged to return their Benny Beef Flavoured Stock Cubes and Benny Chicken Flavoured Stock Cubes to the supermarket, wholesaler, or retail outlet from which they purchased the product, or contact the consumer careline for more details, to receive a full cash refund or a coupon from Thursday, August 21, 2025.”
“No proof of purchase is required,” it said.
Tiger Brands apologised for any inconvenience the recall may cause.
“Benny Flavoured Stock Cubes are recent additions to Tiger Brands’ Culinary Division ingredient segment offering, launched in trade at the beginning of 2023.”
“The Culinary Division will endeavour to make Benny stock cubes available again for sale once the labelling information is rectified,” it added.
