The Israeli dairy farm "Mishak Har Perachim" has issued a consumer warning and announced a recall of its popular organic goat milk Safed cheese due to safety concerns.

The affected production dates are June 29, July 3, and July 5, 2026, with expiration dates ranging from July 13 to July 19, 2026. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and to return them if possible.

The recall reflects a precautionary measure by Mishak Har Perachim to ensure public health and safety. The company has not specified the exact nature of the contamination or hazard but is actively working to collect the products from retailers.
