The Food and Beverage Workers' Union was a trade union representing workers in the food processing industry in South Africa.

The union was established in 1979 by Skakes Sikhakhane, after he had lost re-election as general secretary of the Sweet, Food and Allied Workers' Union. [1] In 1980, it was a founding affiliate of the Council of Unions of South Africa, and by the following year, it had 6,000 members. [2] By 1986, when it transferred to the new National Council of Trade Unions, it had grown to 16,124 members. [3] In 1993, it merged with the National Union of Wine, Spirits and Allied Workers, to form the National Union of Food, Beverage, Wine, Spirit and Allied Workers. [4]
