We could not confirm an official website for a business trading under this name.
A South African business is on a public register. The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission records the registered name, registration number, registered address and status of every registered company and close corporation, and that is the authoritative place to confirm one exists.
Food producers supplying the trade are traced through the batch code on the packaging. Keep it, because a producer cannot investigate a complaint about a specific item without it.
This page covers how to contact Tau Foods in South Africa. The details below were taken from the official Tau Foods contact page rather than from any third-party directory.
ContactDetails.co.za is an independent directory. We are not Tau Foods and cannot act on your behalf. Everything on this page is a routing aid so you reach the right official channel quickly.
Tau Foods contact numbers
We could not identify an official source for an organisation trading under this name. There is no website we could confirm belongs to it, so there was nothing official to read a contact number from.
We have deliberately not published a number here. An unverified number is worse than none: it sends people to whoever happens to answer it, which is exactly the mechanism behind contact-detail scams.
Self-service options before you call
- Check the organisation’s own official website, which carries the current contact details.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Maintenance: how the court actually decides
- It costs nothing and needs no lawyer. The maintenance officer at the court helps complete the application, and the process is designed for people representing themselves.
- Bring proof of income and expenses. Payslips, bank statements, school fee accounts, receipts. An order is calculated from what both sides can prove, and the party who arrives without documents is the party it goes against.
- The court can order an employer to deduct directly. An emoluments attachment order against a salary is the most reliable way an order gets paid, and it can be asked for from the start.
- Failing to pay a maintenance order is a criminal offence, not merely a civil default, and arrears can be recovered by attachment of property or a warrant of execution.
- An order can be varied when circumstances change, in either direction, but only by applying to the court. An informal agreement between the parties does not change the order.
Maintenance is the child’s right, not the paying parent’s favour, and it is separate from contact and access. Refusing contact is not a reason to stop paying, and not paying is not a reason to refuse contact; each is dealt with on its own.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the outlet, keeping the till slip and, where possible, the item. Suspected food poisoning goes to the municipal environmental health department, which inspects food premises and can act on a pattern that a single complaint cannot. Unresolved consumer complaints go to the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud on 0860 000 272.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most food complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Tau Foods contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Tau Foods.
- Reach Tau Foods through the official site at its official website rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Tau Foods will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Tau Foods contact number?
We do not publish one, because we could not confirm a number on an official source. Numbers do circulate on directory sites, and we do not republish those.
How do I know a Tau Foods number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at its official website. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Tau Foods, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
