Shoprite Pulls Cereals From Shelves But Why ?

Some of the country’s major supermarkets have announced a cereal products recall due to labelling issues.

Shoprite detailed in their statement released on 20 March 2025 that the store and other big supermarkets have initiated a voluntary cereal products recall. All products that are manufactured by one of its suppliers, Heartland Foods, have been recalled. The statement further stated the reason for the recall

“This action is being taken because of inaccurate nutritional labelling by the supplier. While no complaints have been received in this regard, we take our responsibility to consumers seriously and have therefore, after numerous interventions with the supplier, decided to issue a voluntary product recall,” the statement read
