Strauss Israel Announces Voluntary Recall of Certain Confectionery Products Because of Possible Health Risk

The Large Salmonella in chocolate outbreak in Israel hit the US. The FDA announced that Strauss Israel voluntarily recalls Elite branded products (Elite Chocolate, Cakes, Wafers, Energy Grain Snacks, Energy Chocolate Rice Cakes, Chewing Gum, and Toffee Candies), including all product codes currently on the US market. The Elite products have been distributed in the kosher market nationally, primarily in the Tri-State area of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, and Florida. Additionally, products have been sold directly to customers via Amazon.com, Fresh Direct, Passover.com, and Retailer Online Sites. The products are being recalled as they were manufactured in a facility in which Salmonella was detected in the production line and in the liquid chocolate used to produce the finished products. No illnesses have been reported to date. @ https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/strauss-israel-announces-voluntary-recall-certain-confectionery-products-because-possible-health
