STERLING HEIGHTS, MI – Michigan officials have issued a do not eat advisory for tahini sold at a Metro Detroit store.
A sample of Rashi Al-Mahaba tahini sold at the Dijla Al-Furat store, 33190 Ryan Road, in Sterling Heights, tested positive for Salmonella, according to the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD).
Tahini is a Middle Eastern condiment made from toasted ground hulled sesame. It is a major ingredient in popular foods like hummus.
This advisory is for tahini purchased from the deli counter between January 13 and May 4 in 16-ounce and 32-ounce clear plastic containers. The containers have white labels printed with black lettering placed on the package at the time of purchase. The labels include the date of purchase but no expiration date.
Consumers should discard this product or return it to the place of purchase. Anyone who thinks they may have become ill from consuming any of the products should seek immediate medical attention.
To date, no illnesses tied to this product have reported. The store is cooperating with MDARD to help identify a source of the contaminated product, according to a news release.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
