Israel's Health Ministry warned the public not to purchase or consume certain tahini products from brands including Al Amir, Ta'aman, Rami Levi, Hanasich, Capri, and Gregir Hazahav, with expiry dates between July 13 and November 6, 2027. The products were originally slated for destruction after salmonella contamination was found, but were stolen and reached the market, the ministry said.
Israel's Health Ministry on Wednesday evening issued a consumer warning over stolen tahini (sesame paste) products contaminated with salmonella. According to the ministry, the products — sold under the brands Al Amir, Ta'aman, Rami Levi, Hanasich, Capri, and Gregir Hazahav in various package sizes — were slated for destruction after salmonella contamination was detected. Instead, they were stolen and made their way into the market. The ministry urged the public to check their pantries and avoid consuming any products with expiry dates between July 13, 2026 and November 6, 2027. No cases of illness linked to these specific products have been reported as of the warning's publication. The Zioneer previously reported on counterfeit olive oil sold online; this alert covers a separate food-safety incident.
