The company 'Tahini Al-Zaeem' has announced a voluntary recall of its tahini products from the market after laboratory tests revealed the presence of Salmonella bacteria. The Ministry of Health stated that during a regulatory inspection by its Food Services Division in the Northern District, it was discovered that 'Tahini Al-Zaeem' products were imported and marketed in Israel in violation of the law. In addition to the Salmonella contamination, the products were found to be labeled with the name 'Tahini Zaman' (טחינה של פעם) on the packaging, despite being marketed by 'Tahini Al-Zaeem'. The recall affects all sizes of tahini products with production dates up to and including October 1, 2026, and expiration dates up to and including October 1, 2027. Consumers who possess these products are urged not to consume them. In coordination with the Ministry of Health's Food Services Division, the marketing entity is working to collect the products from markets and points of sale. Salmonella infection can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain in healthy individuals, with rare complications. In vulnerable populations, including young children, the immunocompromised, and the elderly, the infection can be severe and potentially fatal.
