DISGUSTING: Live worms found in Ace Maize Meal
I am writing to report a very disturbing experience with ACE Super Maize Meal (12.5 kg). Upon opening a new bag, I discovered live worms and black insects crawling inside the meal. What makes this worse is that the product is still well within its shelf life. The packaging details are as follows: • Best Before Date: 20/05/2026 • Manufacturing Date: 07/10/2025 • Barcode: 6 001256 001234 I have already contacted the company via phone, and as per their request, I sent all the videos and photos of the infestation via email and WhatsApp. Since then, they have gone completely quiet and have not offered a solution or an apology. This is a major health concern and extremely disappointing for a brand I usually trust. I expect a formal response and a resolution regarding this contaminated product immediately.

HEALTH HAZARD!!!
I bought your 1kg maize meal product at Shoprite Matsamo Mall last Thursday (08-01-2026). I only opened it today (12-01-2026) and it contained LIVE WORMS and what seemed to be 'lumps of spider webs'. My first thought was to check the expiry date and the date written on the package is 20-05-2026. This is a serious health hazard and I question how you conduct your quality checks. Imagine the families that buy large quantities and often just cook without inspecting because they believe that your products are 'healthy and nutritious' as you paint them out to be. I took images of said product. The manufacturing date written is 07-10-2025 09:06. This is followed by F6 RFN which I'm assuming is the batch number. The serial number is 6 001256 000121.

Horrible
Guys please make sure that you check instant porridges and pour them into containers before feeding your children. So on Monday I bought ACE Maize Meal instant porridge at spar Florida via delivery to day I decided to open it and make breakfast for my son, I see when I open the sides of the porridge are stringy then I knew something was wrong. I poured the porridge in a big bowl to check it and there’s worms 😭 I obviously will be sending it back to SPAR Inland but I am very disappointed as this is a brand I trusted so much
