Israel's Ministry of Health issued a public warning on Wednesday against consuming pastel products from the brand "Balfour's Cigars" and kube products from the brand "Ilana's Kube." The warning was issued because the manufacturers of these products are unknown to the Ministry of Health and their origin is unclear. The alert followed routine inspections by the Ministry of Health's Food Service inspectors and a complaint from a citizen.

Tests revealed that the source of the products is unknown and the manufacturers are not registered with the ministry. The warning applies to all package sizes and expiration dates currently on the market. The affected products include "Balfour's Cigars" potato pastel, spicy pastel, and hot pastel, as well as "Ilana's Kube" beef kube for cooking and beef kube for frying.

The Ministry of Health urges the public not to consume these products and to purchase food items only from recognized sources and authorized distributors. The Food Service is continuing its investigation to locate and remove products from unknown sources. The ministry stated that if any violations of Israeli legislation and regulations are found, appropriate measures will be taken in cooperation with relevant authorities.
