Materna has shut down one of the production lines for Materna Phase 1 products in Mehdrin

Materna, owned by Osem, announced that it has shut down one of the production lines for Materna Phase 1 products in Mehdrin, due to "recently found microbial findings". In her announcement, Materna states that the findings were found on the production line before the product was marketed and that all the products sold to customers underwent tests that ensure their integrity.
"These findings were discovered as part of quality control processes and strict routine tests, which we carry out in the factory on an ongoing basis and before releasing products to the market. The Ministry of Health was informed by us immediately," they wrote in Materna. Indeed, the Ministry of Health sent the professional officials and they began to investigate the case, and according to the Ministry's announcement, they are verifying that "no products that have a risk have indeed arrived in the markets".
The Ministry of Health stated that "from the company's reports" no infected products actually reached the market. Materna explains that the products go through a strict inspection procedure before marketing: "We emphasize that all Materna products on the market are marketed to stores only after the factory has completed all the required tests and made sure that they were found to be in order, according to the strict standards and standards for the production of baby food."
Due to the findings, a shortage of Phase 1 TML products is expected in Materna's Mahadrin kosher. According to the company's announcement, the line will be shut down "for several days", but this is only a preliminary assessment and the company will have to wait for the Ministry of Health's inspection to be completed.
