Salmonella was apparently introduced by pigeons entering the factory through the holes in the roof
Israel’s Health Ministry announced on Sunday that the Strauss Group Elite factory was authorized to gradually resume its activities after a salmonella outbreak.
The decision was made after a health and technological audit had been carried out. The ministry said audits would continue until the factory is cleared to fully resume operations.
The authorization was given after all the measures requested from the manufacturer had been implemented, including a thorough cleaning of the equipment and ensuring that the production lines met the new standards.
After the audit, the ministry’s inspectors approved a return to production of the brand's wafers both with and without gluten.
