After Strauss recalls due to Salmonella Tnuva factory finds suspicious Salmonella as well

The recent recall of Strauss in Nof Hagalil due to Salmonella caused the Israeli health ministry to close the factory for 3 months. As a result, there are no Strauss/Elite products on any shelf in Israel. The Ministry of Health has published a list of flaws in the factory operation, which likely led to the introduction of Salmonella. As a result, Strauss will lose millions of shekels. During the investigation, the suspicion arose, by the health ministry, as part of an ongoing investigation into salmonella contamination found at a Strauss factory, which the contamination might come from powdered milk from Tnuva provided to Strauss.  So far, the ministry has been able to identify bacteria in one batch of powdered milk produced on August 9, 2021. According to a report published by the Health Ministry last week, out of 300 samples taken so far from the Strauss factory, about 30 have come back positive for traces of Salmonella. The ministry of health report cited a range of issues that it blamed on Strauss Group, including construction work at the factory; an infiltration of pigeons into the factory; the unfilled role of a director of food safety at the factory; and improper thawing conditions for dairy fats used in chocolate production. @ https://www.timesofisrael.com/after-strauss-recall-salmonella-found-at-tnuva-factory-as-well/
