Eyal Melis, CEO of the Tnuva Group which owns Sunfrost, said that "we apologize to the customers and consumers and take full responsibility". This after animal parts were found in several bags of green beans.
The CEO of the Tnuva Group, Eyal Melis, commented for the first time on the case of animal parts found in packages of frozen vegetables produced by Sunfrost (Tnuva owns Sunfrost).
Despite this, he stands by his opinion that the collection of the products from the stores (recall) is done out of Sunfrost's responsibility and commitment to its customers, "and not out of fear of a health risk."
Melis also says: There was a very thorough audit by the Ministry of Health and we welcome any such audit."
Regarding the criticism that the finding of the mouse in a bag of frozen vegetables was not reported, he said, the mouse was not reported to the Ministry of Health, but after the second finding was found, we reported and tried to understand what it affects, and if there are any health consequences. We were wrong here too, apparently. The Ministry of Health was adamant that there should be a recall and we thought there was no health risk here. The letter from our lawyers came after we received a professional opinion on the matter. This was not about contamination, but about a single item that was in the bag. When you sort 25 million bags a year, it happens.
"We decided to recall all the bean products, not because they pose a health risk, but because we disappointed the consumers twice. We will return to the market only next week and only after we do another sorting process. You have to remember that when you bring 35,000 tons of agricultural produce, it comes with every animal that is out there And we do everything to eradicate them. We have optical and laser sorters that locate foreign bodies," said Melis.
