Yesterday, the company announced the suspected presence of salmonella in "Zabar" hummus and tahina, in products with an expiration date of December 26, 2022. According to the company, the source of the problem was the raw tahini used to manufacture the product.
As a precaution, the company said that it decided to collect the products from those production lines, in coordination with the food service of the Ministry of Health.
Later, the head of the public health services division, Sharon Elrai Price, directed the food service to conduct an inspection of the plant in the morning.
