Tiger Brands to sell meat business units

The Polokwane facility was identified as the origin of the deadly listeria bacteria outbreak in 2017, and the company is facing a class-action lawsuit over its role in the crisis. Any potential liability under the class action will not transfer to the new owners.

Tiger Brands said the sale of its meat processing businesses has become unconditional. The effective date of the Country Bird transaction will be 1 November 2020.
