A major class action suit in the amount of NIS 6.7 billion against Shufersal, Nasich Tehina and Shamir Salads [link here] for failing to properly inspect products to verify their integrity. This following a number of salmonella and listeria recalls after foods including breakfast cereals, salads containing tehina and French fried potatoes were found to be infected. The sum calculates payment of NIS 1,000 for each person participating in the lawsuit.

The request to approve the class action suit was filed with the Lod District Court on Sunday, 10 Menachem Av by attorneys Assaf Noy, David Ohr Chen, Yossi Greiber, and Yitzchak Ohr. The legal team explains the consumer is full of anxiety regarding their health and the health of their children. The lawsuit claims the companies failed to properly test products as required in addition to alleging Nasich (Prince) Tehina covered-up the presence of salmonella in its product from its customers, which includes Shamir Salads.
