Tahini sesame paste from Turkey used in dishes like hummus, shawarma, sandwich spreads, soups, and some Chinese recipes have led to a Salmonellosis (a food borne bacterial infection) outbreak in the US and New Zealand. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued an advisory to not use this paste and has sent inputs to various health departments, FDA and other departments.

Just checking: The FDA is on an overdrive to ensure no one consumes sesame paste by a Turkish company that has led to a Salmonellosis epidemic in the US and New Zealand. Representation pic
