Unilever destroys 120 tons of cornflakes over salmonella fears

Unilever Israel, owner of the “Telma” brand, is destroying 120 tons of cornflakes after a week of controversy over its failure to stop a shipment to stores of salmonella-tainted cereal boxes.

The company sends truckfulls of boxes today from its factory in Arad to Kiryat Ata, where they are being destroyed and turned into kindling and compost.

The destruction of the tainted food comes after Health Ministry inspectors conducted an investigation over the past few days at the Arad factory in an effort to discover how the bacteria entered the factory.
