If you happen to be lactose intolerent or you keep kosher, stay away from Osem’s chicken-flavored instant meal. According to a Ynet report: “Traces of milk powder were found in the company’s noodle meal, that is meant to be parve (neither meat or milk). Osem issued a public warning on Sunday and the company began recalling the product from sales points.

As a precaution, the company asked consumers allergic or sensitive to milk or any of its components not to consume the product.”
Consumers beware.
