Tahinai Alzaim company has initiated a voluntary recall of its tahini products after laboratory tests revealed the presence of Salmonella bacteria. The recall was prompted by a Ministry of Health food inspection in the Northern District, which found that the products were imported and marketed in Israel illegally. The recall affects all sizes of "Tahinai Alzaim" tahini, as well as products labeled "Tahina Shel Pa'am" (Tahini of the Past). The affected products have production dates up to and including October 1, 2026, and expiration dates up to and including October 1, 2027. Consumers are urged not to consume these products. The company is working with the Ministry of Health to remove the products from distribution channels. Salmonella infection can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, with rare cases of severe complications, particularly for vulnerable populations like young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems, who are at risk of severe illness or death. Consumers can contact 050-7979988 or 052-5863301 for more information.
This tahini recall follows a series of recent food safety warnings in Israel. Earlier, "A. Arba Ketzabim Besarim Ltd." recalled "Kishke Yerushalmi" due to packaging discrepancies, including an incorrect expiration date, missing ingredients, and a wrong manufacturer name. The product was marked with a production date of November 19, 2025, and a sell-by date of October 19, 2026.
Additionally, the Ministry of Health issued a warning about frozen food products marketed under the brands "Ha'Sigarim Shel Balfour" and "Ha'Kuba Shel Ilanit." These include potato pastel, spicy pastel, and hot pastel from the first brand, and beef kubbeh for cooking and frying from the second. The Ministry stated that the manufacturers are unknown, and the origin and production conditions of the food are unclear, raising concerns about sterility and ingredient quality. The Ministry advises consumers to purchase food only from recognized sources and licensed vendors.
