Giant Recall of Products with Peanut Traces
By Yisrael Rosner
A warning to consumers allergic to peanuts - you have been sold products which do not designate their full contents. Many food companies admit that they are making a recall of certain products on the market which contain traces of peanuts, although this is not specified on the wrapping. At the time of manufacture this was not known. These companies include Zanlakol (Yachin, Pri Mevorach and others), Strauss, Zoglobek, Pri Chen, Meir Beigel, Tirat Zvi of Tnuva, the Baladi company and supplier of the private Supersol trademark, Of Yerushalayim and others. These announcements were formulated for the Health Ministry and said products will be removed from the shelves. Consumers who have already bought them and are sensitive to peanuts will be able to exchange them or get their money back. It is not certain whether they will receive compensation.
According to those factors in the companies making the recall, the reason for it is the garlic powder which came from spice companies like Degel and Ram Tibulim, originating from the garlic supplier which all use. The companies report that the central garlic supplier to all spice companies is Galam. This powder had traces of peanuts in it, but it was known when the products were manufactured.
