Ministry of Health Issues Warning Over Unverified Pastels and Kibbeh
Israel's Ministry of Health warns the public against consuming unverified pastel and kibbeh products from unregistered manufacturers.
The Ministry of Health issued an urgent warning on Wednesday advising the public against consuming certain unverified food products following a routine inspection and a citizen complaint. The affected items include pastel products under the brand "Hasegarim Shel Balfour" and kibbeh products by "Hakubah Shel Ilanit".
Authorities stated that the origin of these products remains unknown and the manufacturers are unregistered with the Ministry of Health. The warning applies to all package sizes and expiration dates currently being marketed to consumers.
Specific recalled product lines include potato, spicy, and hot pastels from "Hasegarim Shel Balfour", alongside meat kibbeh for cooking and frying from "Hakubah Shel Ilanit". Inspectors continue their investigation to trace and remove unauthorized items from the market, urging citizens to purchase food solely from licensed vendors.
