Alzaim Tahini Recall: The Notice Also Names "Tahina Shel Paam"

Which packages are included in the recall

The official notice includes all sizes in distribution, all production dates through October 1, 2026, inclusive, and all expiration dates through October 1, 2027, inclusive. Consumers holding these products are asked not to consume them.

The Ministry of Health said Northern District Food Service inspections found that the products had been brought into Israel and marketed unlawfully. Laboratory tests found Salmonella, and the distributor is collecting products in coordination with the Food Service. The published contact numbers are 052-5863301 and 050-7979988.

At home, start with the name and dates, not whether the package has been opened. Do not rely on this article's opening illustration: it is not a photograph of the recalled product. If wording is blurred or unclear, seek clarification with the package details and avoid consuming it until clarified.

How to act without losing product details

The US Food and Drug Administration's general guidance says the first recall step is reading the specific notice and comparing identifying details with the product at home. US guidance provides safe-consumption background; the Israeli notice determines which products this recall covers.

Photograph the product name and dates before contacting the store or distributor. You can then describe exactly what is at home rather than rely on memory or a picture forwarded in a messaging group. If someone bought it for you, ask for the purchase location too.

This article does not promise a refund or a particular return procedure. Clarify handling with the distributor or point of sale. The FDA says not to pass recalled products to other people or animals and to follow appropriate return or disposal instructions.

What if the tahini has already been used?

The FDA recommends cleaning and sanitizing surfaces, kitchen utensils, and storage areas that contacted contaminated food, and washing hands afterward. At home, consider where the package was stored and the serving utensils, not just the package left in the cupboard.

If the tahini was transferred to another container, try to find its original packaging or details. If served to others, share the official notice so they can assess exposure and act accordingly. Accurate details are more useful than a general warning about every type of tahini.

For more on checking information while shopping, see the food-label reading guide. During a recall, a name and date may be more useful than the nutrition table.

Which symptoms warrant consultation

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, says Salmonella may cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain, sometimes with nausea and vomiting. Symptoms can begin between six hours and six days after infection. Feeling well immediately after a meal therefore does not, by itself, rule out exposure.

The CDC recommends seeing a doctor for diarrhea or vomiting lasting more than two days, blood in stool, high fever, or signs of dehydration. Reduced urination, dry mouth, and dizziness are among the signs to watch. When seeking care, mention what was eaten and when, alongside the symptoms.

The Ministry of Health particularly warns about young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. This does not mean everyone who ate it will become ill, and abdominal pain alone cannot diagnose Salmonella. Whether medical investigation is needed depends on the individual's situation.

The important check also happens in the cupboard

Collection from stores does not replace checking already-purchased products. A decision at home requires three simple steps: identify the package, compare it with the official notice, and stop consuming it if it matches. Remaining questions can be directed to the numbers published in the notice.

Save the official link and share it with whoever shops or prepares meals at home. This reduces mistakes between similar names and different dates without turning a defined recall into a blanket warning about an entire shelf.
