Strauss announced today (Friday) that after receiving final answers – the suspicion of salmonella in two products that went on the market was ruled out and there was a concern that they contained the bacterium. In other words, so far all the tests that Strauss has performed on products in the confectionery factory that have entered the market – and were included in the recall (re-collection) that Strauss performed – are negative for salmonella. Strauss emphasizes that this does not change the company’s decision to recall all products in the candy factory.
The chairman of the Strauss Group, Ofra Strauss, appeared in front of the cameras yesterday, for the first time since the beginning of the recall crisis. “I am here to say on behalf of the company in a clear voice. We look into the eyes of all the citizens of the country, all those who have been harmed – I apologize for disappointing you. “I’m sorry for the heartache you’re going through because of us,” she said.
Strauss Israel CEO Eyal Dror added: “According to the risk management plan, salmonella is tested once a year. There are some not-so-minor deficiencies that we have exposed to the Ministry of Health. In the weeks before the first discovery we did a renovation and it did not go properly. Maybe it worked. There were pigeons that were discovered in the factory a month ago. “
