Israeli Health Ministry Warns Against Consuming Illegally Imported Algimal Tahini Contaminated with Salmonella
The Israeli Ministry of Health has issued a public warning against consuming tahini products from the brand "Algimal" due to contamination with Salmonella bacteria. These products were imported into Israel illegally and without regulatory oversight. The affected items include white tahini in 1 kg packages with a production date of March 2026 and 500 gram packages produced in April 2026. Salmonella infection can cause symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, and may lead to severe illness in vulnerable groups like children and the elderly. The ministry urges the public to avoid consuming these products to prevent health risks.
