Israel’s Health Ministry said a suspicion has emerged that Prince Tahini products that were supposed to be destroyed were stolen. The products had previously been recalled months ago after salmonella was found in them during inspections by the ministry’s food service. A complaint has been filed with police.
The ministry is urging the public not to buy any Prince Tahini products with expiration dates from July 13, 2027 through November 6, 2027, inclusive. The warning covers products sold under several brand names and package sizes, including Al Amir 450 grams, 900 grams and 17 kg, Taiman 450 grams, both plain and whole, Rami Levi 500 grams, plain and whole, Rami Levi 1 kg plain, Prince Tahor 450 grams and 17 kg, Prince Whole 450 grams, 450KAPRI 450 grams and 900 grams, and Gragir HaZahav 500 grams.
The public was told not to consume the products. The ministry said salmonella can cause intestinal illness in healthy people, with fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, and can rarely lead to complications. It warned that in vulnerable groups, including young children, people with weakened immune systems and older adults, the bacteria can cause severe illness and even death.
