View descriptionShare

The National Consumer Commission - NCC - has withdrawn it's precautionary product safety recall for Top Score instant porridge  after laboratory test results revealed no observable contamination of the batches tested. In October, the Commission advised South African consumers who purchased Top Score instant porridge to stop consuming the product and immediately return it to their retailer for a full refund. This after two toddlers and a baby died in Mdantsane, East London after allegedly eating the instant porridge. Following an investigation of the Namibia based Namib Mills, producers of the porridge and their local supplier,  the NCC has concluded that the company has not contravened the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, particularly section 55, which relates to the provision of safe and quality goods.
