MK Itzik Shmuli (Zionist Union) strongly criticised the Ministry of Health for not catching up with the Unilever corn flakes contamination sooner.

In an interview with Army Radio, Shmuli scathed that the Ministry of Health "took a week to wake up," and added: "We ask that, at the moment that a contamination event is discovered on the production line, they report [to the public]."
