Brand: Yesh Me'Of
Product: Eggs

These eggs are being recalled because tests showed they may be contaminated with Salmonella.

The company announced that all recent tests of their chicken coops have not shown any evidence of salmonella.

I don't think there is any way to get a refund as far as I can tell.

Egg Recall - what you should know

Yesh MaOf Eggs have once again made it into the news for being contaminated with a highly dangerous strain of salmonella.

This is not the first time this company has had this problem.

The company claims that in the past week, tests of their chicken coops showed no evidence of the dangerous strain of salmonella, and therefore they are saying that the eggs that are unsafe are "counterfeit" - that they come from an unregistered source that is labeling their eggs as Yesh Maof eggs.

They urge any customer who has eggs with the following batch info to DESTROY them for safety reasons:

Batch # וק67 with use by date (refrigerated) of 14.11.2017

Batch # וז98 with use by date (refrigerated) of 7.11.2017

If you have questions about this, please contact Yesh Maof at 052-577-8537

Do not expect a refund, as they are claiming these eggs are not actually from their company.

Salmonella in Eggs

I'm a bit late posting this, but in case you haven't heard, the Health Minstry is warning of a dangerous strain of salmonella that is present in certain eggs currently on the market.

Here's what you need to know:

Less than 1% of the eggs currently on the market are assumed to be contaminated.

The recalled eggs are from a processor that uses the label "Yesh Me'Of" (יש מעוף).

All use-by dates up to and including 20/10/17



Please check your eggs before you eat them! If you have eggs that were recalled, you should be able to return them to the store where purchased, but you are advised NOT to eat them! The Ministry of Health advises that you throw out these eggs immediately!

Update: No official instructions have been given to return them, and I have heard stores are NOT accepting returns. I highly recommend to all of you who have bought these eggs to CALL the company at 04-980-7063 and demand a refund. It is my belief that they should take responsibility. Good luck and let me know in the comments if you are able to get your money back!

Salmonella in Eggs - Check your eggs!

I'm a bit late posting this, but in case you haven't heard, MORE eggs were recalled last week due to the presence of Salmonella.

Here's what you need to know:

The recalled eggs are stamped with code  ES5236 (ES is the import code, these eggs are from Spain)
They have a sell by date of 6/2
They have a use by date (if refrigerated) of 6/3 

You won't find these eggs in stores any longer, but some of you may have them in your refrigerator. Please check your eggs before you eat them! If you have eggs that were recalled, you should be able to return them to the store where purchased.

This post is a follow up to last month's post about eggs from Spain.
For more information about Israel's egg importation, see that post (click here).

Imported Eggs: Possibly Contaminated with Salmonella

A couple weeks ago, I wrote about eggs from the Ukraine that were contaminated with salmonella.
 
This time, I am going to tell you about eggs from Spain.

The Ministry of Health suspects that eggs that were imported from Spain may contain, you guessed it, salmonella - and is conducting further testing.

In the meantime, the MoH has asked the public to be sure to only eat eggs that have been thouroughly cooked, in order to minimize the risk of food poisoning.

(Food poisoning is something to avoid, really, at all costs. It's awful. If you've never had it, you'll just have to trust me on that one, because I'm not going into the details here!)

You can check if the eggs you have are from Spain - they will have code ES stamped onto them.

Here is a list of countries that we currently import eggs from, and their corresponding codes. You will see one of these codes on the eggs you buy if they are imported (eggs produced locally do not have letter codes stamped on them):

Spain = ES

Holland = NL

Italy = IT

Ukraine = UA

Turkey = TR

Now that we know how to identify imported eggs, we will be more educated consumers. Personally, I'd rather get local eggs! How about you?

Egg Recall Info!

The Ministry of Health has ordered the removal from store shelves of all eggs recently imported from the Ukraine (who knew we imported eggs from the Ukraine?!?).

Tests show these eggs may be contaminated with salmonella.

They have already been removed from store shelves, but some were sold before the recall was put into place. Please check your eggs for a stamp that says "UA" on them. If you have eggs with a "UA" on them, they originated in the Ukraine and are part of this recall. Please return them to the store where purchased.

Consumers are also warned not to buy eggs from unauthorized sellers, like those who sell from the back of a truck at the side of the road. Sometimes recalled eggs have been sold illegally in this manner in the past.

Food Recall - Beef Dumplings (Israel)

 

 

Salmonella warning:

The packages have the following name on their label: "כיסונים (פלמני) בשר "אוקראינסקי

 

In addition, the packages are labelled with an incorrect "best by" date.

 

Customers are being asked to return this product to the store or to the factory.
