The company "A. Arba Ketavim Beserim Ltd." has issued a recall for its "Kishke Yerushalmi" product due to serious labeling deficiencies discovered by the Ministry of Health. An inspection by the Ministry's food service in the Tel Aviv district revealed that the product's label is inaccurate, showing an expiration date longer than its actual safe shelf life, an incomplete ingredient list, and an incorrect manufacturer name. The product details include a production date of November 19, 2025, and a sell-by date of October 19, 2026. The company is urging the public not to consume the product and is coordinating with the Ministry of Health to collect it from distribution channels and retail chains. Consumers with the product are advised to contact their point of sale or customer service.
This recall follows a separate, unusual warning issued by the Ministry of Health just a day prior, cautioning the public against consuming several popular food products from the brands "Ha'Sigarim Shel Balfour" and "Ha'Kuba Shel Ilanit." The ministry stated that the origins of these products are unknown and they are not produced under legal supervision. The warning applies to all sizes and expiration dates of Balfour's potato pastel, spicy pastel, and hot pastel, as well as Ilanit's beef kubbeh for cooking and frying. These discoveries stemmed from routine inspections and a citizen complaint, which revealed that the manufacturers are unknown to the Ministry of Health, with no information available regarding production conditions, sterility, or raw material quality.
