- Ground black pepper recalled for high aflatoxin levels.
- Consumers urged not to eat recalled products.
- Companies cooperating with Ministry of Health recall.
Israel's Ministry of Health has ordered the recall of two food products due to contamination. "Class Food" brand Moroccan carrot salad was found to contain the bacteria Salmonella, while "Gal Spices" ground black pepper was found to have elevated levels of aflatoxins, a type of mycotoxin. The company Falafel BaRibuah Food Industries Ltd., which produces the carrot salad under the "Class Food" brand and markets it through A. Class Food Ltd., has announced it is removing the product from shelves. Consumers who purchased the carrot salad are advised not to consume it. Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain in healthy individuals, and can lead to severe illness or death in vulnerable populations like young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. The company is cooperating with the Ministry of Health's Food Service to collect the product.
In parallel, Tavel Spices and Food Products Ltd. announced the recall of its "Gal Spices" ground black pepper. Testing revealed levels of aflatoxins exceeding the permitted limit. Aflatoxins are naturally occurring fungal toxins that can cause disease and long-term health damage. The public is also urged not to consume these black pepper products. Both companies are working with the Ministry of Health's Food Service to retrieve the contaminated items from the market.
