Frozen Meat Recall: Jerusalem Kishke Pulled from Shelves Over Mislabeling
A. Arbaah Katsavim Basarim Ltd. recalled its Jerusalem Kishke due to severe labeling flaws and incorrect expiration dates following a Health Ministry inspection.
Consumers holding frozen meat products should check their freezers immediately following a safety warning issued on Thursday. The company A. Arbaah Katsavim Basarim Ltd. announced a voluntary recall of its "Jerusalem Kishke" product after a professional inspection by the Ministry of Health revealed severe labeling irregularities.
Labeling Violations Discovered
The discrepancies were uncovered during routine oversight conducted by the Tel Aviv District Food Service of the Ministry of Health. Inspectors found that the product labels were misleading and non-compliant, featuring an extended and unsafe expiration date, an incomplete ingredient list, and an incorrect manufacturer name.
Product details include: Product name: Jerusalem Kishke. Production date: 19/11/25. Market until: 19/10/26. Manufacturer listed on label: Arbaah Katsavim. Barcode: 7290002816515. Packaging: Sold by weight.
The public is strongly advised not to consume the product under any circumstances, and consumers possessing the item are urged to contact points of sale or customer service for handling.
Additional Warnings on Unlicensed Food Brands
This recall comes just a day after the Ministry of Health issued a separate warning regarding popular food products distributed under unknown brands without regulatory oversight. The alert covers all products under "Balfour Cigars"—including potato, spicy, and hot pastels—as well as "Ilanit's Kibba" products, encompassing meat kibba for cooking and frying across all sizes and expiration dates.
