Israel’s Health Ministry issued a public warning Thursday against consuming any mineral water products sold under the “Alaska” brand, after inspectors discovered the products had been brought into Israel from Palestinian Authority-controlled territory without the required approvals.

The warning applies to all bottle sizes and expiration dates of “Alaska – Natural Mineral Water.”

According to the ministry, inspectors from the Northern District Food Service discovered the products during a routine inspection. Officials said the water had entered Israel unlawfully and without the necessary authorization.

As a result, the ministry said the conditions under which the water was produced and its safety are unknown, and the products are not subject to Health Ministry supervision.

The product is described as mineral water treated through reverse osmosis and ozonation and is manufactured or imported by Ein Asia Mineral Water Company.

The Health Ministry urged the public not to consume the products and reminded consumers to purchase food and beverages only from recognized sources and authorized retailers.
