Israel's Health Ministry warns consumers to avoid olive oil sold under the brand Tifa Tahora after a suspected food-poisoning case sent a person to the emergency room. An investigation found the product shows signs of forgery and lacks mandatory labeling including oil type, characteristics, and manufacturer details.
The Health Ministry issued a public alert Wednesday morning urging consumers not to consume olive oil sold under the brand Tifa Tahora. The warning follows a complaint of possible food poisoning that led one person to seek emergency room treatment. An investigation by the ministry found that the product displays signs of counterfeiting and does not meet the official definition of olive oil. The label lacks mandatory markings including oil type, characteristics, and manufacturer details. The ministry noted that the product was sold online, and reminded the public that selling food without proper labeling violates the law. It recommends avoiding purchases from suppliers who conceal their identity or fail to meet labeling requirements.
No further details on the affected person's condition or the scope of distribution have been released. The Zioneer has no prior reporting on this thread.
