Vegan cheese produced by a major manufacturer was recalled on Sunday due to concerns that metal shards had found their way into a “limited amount” of the product.
In a joint statement with the Health Ministry, manufacturing giant Tnuva said it had recalled certain 200-gram packets of “Alternative Classic Sliced Yellow Cheese” because of a “malfunction.”
It warned consumers that any packets stamped with a use-by date between February 21 and 25 of 2023 should be disposed of and that customers were entitled to a refund.
“All Tnuva products go through a long process of strict checks before leaving the factory to ensure their quality in all respects. We apologize for this incident,” Tnuva said.
In August last year, a Tnuva customer found a mouse head in a packet of Sunfrost frozen green beans, and parts of a snake and a dead snail were found in two other separate incidents, causing a recall of the product.
