The Health Ministry has restricted operations at Zol VeGadol branches that sold the Prinok baby puree containing anesthetic drugs, according to i24NEWS.
The Health Ministry has restricted activity at branches of the Zol VeGadol supermarket chain that sold the Prinok baby puree in which anesthetic substances were found, according to i24NEWS on Thursday. The move follows a widening scandal over contaminated baby food sold primarily at Zol VeGadol and Bigudol stores in Jerusalem. As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, laboratory tests confirmed benzodiazepine sedatives clonazepam and lorazepam—drugs used as anesthetics—in multiple batches of the puree. The ministry had previously issued cease-and-desist orders and broad operational restrictions on specific branches. The exact nature of today's new restrictions and which specific branches are affected has not yet been detailed.
