Hecht Products Ltd. announced that the following products were mislabeled, due to a printing error:
Brand: Penina Rosenblum
Product Name: Gluten Free Sesame Sticks
Package Size: 150g
Brand: Penina Rosenblum
Product Name: Gluten Free Sesame Cookies (עוגיות מזרחיות)
Package Size: 150g
Despite the fact that the picture on the label shows products with sesame seeds, and the names of the products in English contain the word "sesame", sesame seeds were left off the ingredient list and the allergen list.
These products CONTAIN sesame, and should NOT be eaten by anyone with a sesame allergy!
If you have questions about this recall, please call Hecht Products customer service at 08-684-6620
While they do not mention anything about refunds, I recommend anyone with a sesame allergy who has purchased one or both of these products should request a refund from the company.
Please make sure you share this recall with anyone who is allergic to sesame and may have purchased these products!
Mislabeled as Kosher for Pesach:
Canned mushrooms marketed by "Opal S.Y. International" under the labels "Mega", "Shufersal" and "Tomer". These mushrooms did not have Pesach kashrut supervision at production time, and are not kosher for Pesach. Please return to the store where purchased.
Some bottles of "Trump" brand Vodka have a clear sticker affixed indicating they are kosher for Pesach(2013). They are only Kosher for Pesach if they have the original holographic sticker.
"Hamerkaz" brand canned goods - some cans of olives, hot peppers, etc have unauthorized kosher for Pesach stickers attached. They are ONLY kosher for pesach if they have the letters ZM stamped next to the production date. If you have cans that are mislabeled, call the customer service number on the package.
"Yerushalmi" brand Extra Virgin Olive Oil is labeled kosher under the supervision of the national Rabbanut and the Chug Chatam Sofer of Bnei Brak, but the Rabbanut states the production facility is not under supervision. The public is warned not to purchased this item, and requests that if you see this product being sold, you call the Rabbanut( 02-5313187, Fax. 02-5313169) with the location.
The information in this post was obtained from the Rabbanut Kashrut division
