WATCH: Uncertain family futures - painful and personal stories in aftermath of listeriosis outbreak
The legal team representing more than 1,000 claimants in a class action related to the 2017/18 listeriosis outbreak claims that new ‘breakthrough’ evidence, uncovered this year, presents an ‘overwhelming’ case against food producer Tiger Brands. The team argues that the evidence points to Tiger Brands being fully responsible for the outbreak, which was primarily linked to contaminated polony. This video shares the personal stories of some of the families affected by the outbreak, highlighting the lasting and devastating impact it has had on their lives.
