Videos of spoiled Purity left South Africans disgusted

There are more TikTok videos of people showing their spoiled Purity products. One woman recorded green ooze coming out of a packet.

Briefly News contacted Tiger Brands for comment. The company said:

"Tiger Brands is aware of the consumer’s concerns. We have initiated our consumer complaint-handling protocol which includes collecting a sample of the product from the consumer and evaluating it."

Explaining the mould/muck in Purity pouches, they said:

"The mould develops in instances where the pouch seal is broken - either by the cap being twisted open; the flexible pouch material being punctured through handling or the spout being damaged - air and external contaminants that are not present in the product, such as mould, can enter the pouch. This results in spoilage which could lead to bad odours and the appearance of foreign particles in the product."
