In the Safed plant Unilever manufactures chocolate, Telma’s morning cereals and cooking and baking ingredients. The company announced that there will not be any shortage of the products on the market.
Trade sources in Tel Aviv commented that the attack on Unilever’s plant in Israel may have negative repercussions on the future investments of the multinational conglomerate in the country.
Meanwhile, many food processing plants in the Upper and Western Galilee regions in Israel are operating under a special permit from the authorities. These plants process tomatoes, carrots, sweet corn and other vegetables, the bulk of which is slated for export.
