Recall - Institutional Size Tahini (Techina Golmit)

Unilever announced a recall of it's sesame paste (techina golmit) produced by Al-Waadi - RJM Food Industries, sold in industrial size containers, due to positive tests for salmonella contamination.

The affected products were sold in 5 kg and 17 kg containers.

The recall affects the batch produced on 23.6.16 with expiration date 23.6.17

This recall affects only those who bought industrial size containers of tahini, but I'll be on the lookout for the trickle down effect. I am guessing there will be further recalls by other companies who purchased this batch.
