Tanzania lifts the ban on South African meat imports
TFDA had previously suspended imports from South Africa on March 7, 2018, due to the Listeriosis outbreak caused by contamination of several brands of meat products from South African companies.
The Tanzanian authorities said in a statement that the ban is still in place for brands of meat products from the following companies: Enterprise Foods Polokwane (ZA 33), Enterprise Foods Germiston (ZA 126) and RCL Foods Consumer - Chicken (ZA 32) which were previously implicated with the Listeriosis outbreak.
Furthermore, after conducting a thorough inspection, TFDA concluded that the implicated brands of products in the outbreak have not been present on the Tanzania market.
"Results of laboratory analysis of the samples revealed that none of the samples had been contaminated with the causative bacterial," TFDA's statement read.
TFDA said further that it will continue to conduct inspections and strengthen control of food imports.
