Israel's Health Ministry issued a warning Tuesday evening regarding tahini products contaminated with salmonella that were illegally imported into the country, according to a report by ynet. The ministry stated that all products of the brand were brought in illegally, without specifying the brand name. The warning comes amid a series of food safety alerts in Israel. In recent weeks, The Zioneer has reported on two other food safety incidents: a warning about salmonella-tainted tahini products that were stolen and distributed to stores, and a warning about counterfeit olive oil sold online. Consumers are advised to check product labels and avoid the specific batches.
