PSA: Salmonella in some chocolate products

The Strauss company announced today that some of its products, under the Elite name, are tainted with salmonella. To that end they issued a recall on a list of products.

The list, from the JPost website:

• Chocolate bars (Cow, Blondie, and Splendid brand) with a best before date between 01.10.22-24.04.23
• Pesek Zman, Memolada and Crunch chocolate snack bars with a best before date between 01.12.22 - 01.04.23
• Taami, Egozi, and Kif Kef chocolate bars with a best before date between 01.07.22 - 15.01.23
• “Energy” chocolate coated rice cakes and chocolate cereal bars with a best before date between 01.07.22 - 15.01.23
• Reva L’Sheva snack bars with a best before date between 01.05.22 - 15.12.23
• Brownie cake, Pesek Zman cake and rolls with a best before date between 10.07.22 - 31.08.22
• Chocolate “XL” wafers with a best before date between 15.11.22 - 01.01.23
• “Bonbonierre” selection boxes dated best before 9.4.23 and 21.2.23 only.

If you have purchased the affected products, you can get a compensation voucher in exchange for returning them or maybe even simply disposing them. I did see online that people have had a hard time getting through on the Strauss customer service line, so good luck. A lot of people are probably trying to call right now.

Announcing this after Pesach is not so horrible - many of us probably overate over the holiday and use a bit of a break from the treats anyway :-)

I did notice that many, if not all, of these items were either kitniyot over Pesach or chametz, so I havent bought any of them....... I guess sticking to the kitniyot minhag provided some protection....
