The Israeli Ministry of Health has ordered the destruction of 53 kilograms of beef products found to be unfit for human consumption at a "Zol U'Begadol" (Cheap and Big) supermarket branch in the Avshalom industrial zone. The order came after a surprise inspection by ministry supervisors and a regional veterinarian revealed severe sanitary deficiencies and legal violations.
Inspectors found the store operating without licenses and under poor sanitary conditions. Products were manufactured in violation of the law, including the freezing of fresh products, thawing of meats, grinding and seasoning of meat, and the presence of products without manufacturer or expiration date markings. These practices pose a risk to public health.
The ministry issued a warning to consumers who purchased unmarked or expired products from the store, urging them not to consume them and to dispose of them immediately. This incident follows approximately four months after a previous poisoning incident involving "Prinok" baby food, highlighting ongoing concerns about food safety standards.
The Ministry of Health and local authorities stated they will continue to implement supervision and enforcement measures to protect public health. The article also mentions a separate incident where children were hospitalized after exposure to benzodiazepines found in their blood, though this appears unrelated to the supermarket inspection.
