Made-in-Israel tahini infected
11-12-2018
Israel not only occupied Palestinian land but has also sought to appropriate Arab culture and identity, including famous heritage culinary products, (like falafel, hummus, tabbuleh, etc), with which it overran European and American markets. In this respect, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) on November 28 warned of two Israeli brands associated with Achva tahini and seven other brands, in addition to the organic tahini product by S&F. These products were reportedly sold in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec and probably other states, according to CFIA. The latter confirmed the outbreak of identified foodborne diseases associated with consumption of above products that have been recalled from the markets, but did not mention how many, cautioning citizens to discard them or return them to the stores. Pregnant women, young children and immunodeficient patients, the agency concluded, could be at serious or fatal health risks, including high fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea if they eat from the said items.
