ILIsraeli police arrested a man in his 40s from southern Israel on Monday in connection with the contamination of baby food sold in Jerusalem grocery stores. The baby food, specifically Prinok baby puree, was found to contain strong sedatives, clonazepam and lorazepam, during testing earlier this year. The products were purchased from two branches of Zol Begadol, a discount supermarket chain in Jerusalem. Three toddlers under the age of 3 were hospitalized in June after consuming the contaminated puree, though they were later discharged in stable condition. Police stated that they had already opened an investigation in May after two other children were hospitalized, but the Health Ministry did not request further testing of a suspicious jar of the product. The suspect will appear before the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, and police continue to investigate other potential leads in the case.
