The company "Tahina Alzaim" has initiated a voluntary recall of its tahini products after laboratory tests revealed the presence of Salmonella bacteria. The Ministry of Health's Northern District Food Service discovered that "Tahina Alzaim" tahini products were imported and marketed in Israel in violation of regulations. In addition to the regulatory breaches, Salmonella was detected in product samples. The recall affects all sizes of "Tahina Alzaim" tahini, distributed by "Tahina Alzaim" but labeled as "Tahina Shel Pa'am." The affected products have any production date up to and including October 1, 2026, and any expiration date 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 Service, the distributor is collecting the affected products from the market. Salmonella infection in healthy individuals can cause fever, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. While rare, complications can arise. In vulnerable populations, including young children, the immunocompromised, and the elderly, Salmonella can lead to severe illness and, in some cases, death.
