If you bought tahini since May 2023, check this recall made after salmonella was found
Salmonella caused the recall of tahini that first went to stores around the United States in 2023.

Salmonella infects 1.35 million people in the nation annually, the CDC estimates, hospitalizing about 26,500 (usually with bloody diarrhea) and killing about 420 people. Most people get fever, stomachaches, vomiting and diarrhea that starts anywhere from six hours to six days after infection and lasts four to seven days.
