Illegal tahini imported from abroad may contain Salmonella, Health Ministry warns
Evidence of Salmonella was found in two Algimal Tahini products during a Health Ministry investigation: a 1-kilogram container produced in March and a 500-gram container produced in April.
The Israeli Health Ministry issued a warning on Tuesday regarding Algimal Tahini (Hagamel) due to suspected Salmonella contamination. The ministry stated that the tahini was illegally imported without proper permits, making its manufacturing conditions unverifiable. Salmonella was detected in two products: a 1-kilogram container of White Tahini produced in March and a 500-gram container produced in April. The Health Ministry advises the public not to consume these products, as Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, and other symptoms, potentially leading to serious or fatal outcomes for vulnerable populations.
