An application for a class action lawsuit against Tiger Brands and Enterprise foods has been filed at the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg. The lawsuit relates to the listeriosis outbreak which claimed the lives of 180 people. The families of the victims want the companies to be held liable for the deaths and injuries and to be compensated for this. Tiger Brands had previously said that there was no direct link between their products and the Listeriosis deaths.
The company has recorded a loss of almost 400 million rand as a result of the recall of their products since the listeriosis outbreak occurred.
