Nearly two tons of ‘unsanitary’ poultry trashed

The Health Ministry has destroyed nearly two tons of poultry after a processing plant was found to be unsanitary and possibly damaging to public health.

The ministry says 1,680 kilograms (3,703 pounds) from the Of Yerushalayim Mehadrin plant in the West Bank’s Binyamin Industrial Zone have been destroyed.

“During an inspection, the poultry was found to have thawed and improperly marked, and kept in unsanitary conditions,” the ministry says in a statement. “Improper handling, storage and selling of meat not following standards required by law could impact public health.”
