Die peuselpakkiebedryf in die Weskus word verlam deur gerugte en sake wat by die polisie aangemeld word oor \u201cpille\u201d wat na bewering in peuselpakkies met tjips, pretzels en koekies gekry is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vervaardigers met wie Weslander<\/span> gepraat het, beskryf dit as \u2019n \u201cpolitieke veldtog\u201d wat eintlik teen buitelandse spazawinkel-eienaars gemik is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mense in Vredenburg, St. Helenabaai, Hopefield en Elandsbaai is erg die josie in nadat hul kinders na bewering pakkies tjips met pille in gekoop het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens kapt. Tania Helfrich, die Weskus-polisiewoordvoerder, is altesaam vier gevalle van pille in peuselpakkies in Vredenburg, St. Helenabaai, Hopefield en Elandsbaai die afgelope tyd aangemeld. Di\u00e9 pille is vir forensiese ontleding weggestuur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daar is egter geen voorvalle aangemeld waarin kinders vergiftig is of van die pille ingekry het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verskeie soorte peuselhappies van sowat tien verskillende vervaardigers word uitgewys in foto\u2019s en op video\u2019s wat wyd op sosiale media versprei is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die vervaardigers betwis egter die egtheid van die inhoud. Hulle is dit eens dat geen pil eerstens die geoutomatiseerde vervaardigingsproses met ho\u00eb temperature van 200 \u00b0C sal kan deurstaan nie. Tweedens sal dit, selfs al is dit n\u00e1 aflewering by die pakkies gevoeg, duidelik wys as dit in \u2019n pakkie rondgeskud is en die kleursels, geursels en olie sal ook enige pil beskadig. Die pille op die sosialemediaplasings lyk ooglopend nog onbeskadig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is \u2019n politiek gedrewe veldtog gemik teen buitelanders wat meestal die spazawinkels op die platteland besit. Dis afpersing<\/i>,\u201d meen Riaan Miggel, bedryfsbestuurder van SUZ Food Branch in Pretoria en Kaapstad. Van hul produkte word ook hierby betrek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Vredenburg-boorling van Pretoria was Miggel onmiddellik op die vliegtuig toe hy van die foto\u2019s en video\u2019s te siene kry. \u201cDit is politieke propaganda, want hoe is dit moontlik dat tien verskillende maatskappye se pakkies skielik almal pille kan bevat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miggel meen dit is mense wat die pille saam met die tjips afneem en dan maak asof dit daarin gekry is. \u201cKlante wat werklik iets fout kry met \u2019n produk, volg die klantediensroete en bel die klantedienslyn. Ons het nog nie \u2019n enkele klagte oor di\u00e9 \u2018pille\u2019 gekry nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geen vervaardigers sal volgens Miggel \u2019n produk maak wat sy grootste klantebasis \u2013 kinders \u2013 benadeel nie. \u201cIn plaas van ons maatskappye te demoraliseer, moet mense eerder dink aan al die werk wat ons skep.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Miggel werk byna 1 000 mense by SUZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Astrid Bridger en Stuart Henderson van Dragonfly Foods van Montagu, wie se produkte ook betrek word, het ook die Weskus kom besoek om verklarings by die Vredenburg-polisie te kom afl\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hulle stem saam dat dit plaaslike werkers is wat die seerste kry weens di\u00e9 \u201cveldtog\u201d teen buitelandse spazawinkeleienaars. Bykans die helfte van Dragonfly se werkers moes di\u00e9 week by die huis bly omdat hul produkte geboikot word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die hele peuselpakkiebedryf word verlam \u2013 ook die verskaffers van verpakkings\u00admateriaal, kleursels, geursels en die maatskappy wat die verspreiding behartig. Dit is veral die BBQ-geursel- peuselpakkies wat betrek word, want dit is glo die gewildste geursel wat by die vervaardigers gekoop word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die vervaardigers benadruk dat hulle by streng munisipale en nasionale gesondheidsvoorskrifte moet hou en hul produkte gereeld getoets word. Hulle verseker die publiek hul produkte is veilig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Henderson meen die veldtog het gewis \u2019n xenofobiese aanslag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
