Tiger Brands' shares fell the most in more than two years after Africa’s biggest listed foodmaker recalled a range of baby-powder products that may have been tainted by asbestos.

The stock slumped as much as 10% in Johannesburg, the most since May 2020, extending a loss for the year to 16%.

The company withdrew the products after trace levels of asbestos were detected in test samples from a batch of talcum powder used as raw material, according to a statement on Wednesday.

Customers are urged to return powder already purchased to their nearest supermarket, Tiger Brands said.
