Ziyad brand tahini potentially contaminated with salmonella
A jar of tahini sesame paste produced by Ziyad Brothers tested positive for salmonella contamination in a random sampling tested by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. As a result, the company is recalling certain lot codes of its tahini out of precaution, because those also may be contaminated with salmonella.
The recalled tahini product was distributed by the company, based in Cicero, Illinois, across the US, to retail stores including Walmart. It was sold in 8-ounce, 16-ounce, 32-ounce, and half gallon jars. These jars can be identified by the label “Tahini Sesame Paste.”
Salmonella contamination can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections.
