Price Controlled Foods Update

I just wanted to make sure that all of you know that as of the end of last week, the price of conventional eggs has been changed.

The new price for a dozen large eggs is 12.50 (old price was 12.90), a dozen medium eggs is 11.50, and a dozen extra large eggs is 13.60.

Below you can find the list of price controlled foods. There was some talk of adding whipping cream and cottage cheese to this list, but those products have not been added to any official lists yet.

The price listed is the MAXIMUM price for the specified item - if a store is selling price controlled items for a higher price, they are in violation of the law. You can (and should) report these violations.

Here are the items that are supervised, and their maximum price to consumers:

I'm showing prices for the entire country, excluding Eilat, by the way. Eilat is exempt from Ma'am, so prices there will be lower.

Food Recall - Shamir Salads (Israel)

Please check your salads if you've bought any this week! A routine inspection of Shamir Salads showed that a number of Shamir Salads are contaminated with listeria.

The affected salads are Egg Salad, Avocado Salad with Eggs, and Roasted Eggplant in Techina, and they should NOT be eaten.

Egg Salad: 250g containers with expiration date 7.11.13
Avocado Salad with Eggs: 250g containers with expiration date 20.11.13
Roasted Eggplant in Techina (no preservatives): expiration date 31.11.13 - although that date doesn't exist. I have no idea how that happened, but that's what was in the press release!

Consumers who have purchased these products should call Shamir Salads at 03-9067744 and speak with a customer service representative.

The products are being removed from store shelves.

Other Shamir Salads that are not included in this recall are safe to eat.
