A decision in the Remedia affair: the CEO and owners were acquitted, the food technologist was convicted of causing death by negligence.
A decade after the affair that rocked the country, a Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court acquitted the former CEO Gideon Landsberger, of causing death and accused him of small clauses.
Moshe Miller, one of the company owners, was completely acquitted. The principal convict is a food technologist of Remedia, Frederick Black, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter of the baby Avishai Zisser, from a hareidi family in Bnei Brak.
Judge Lia Levon defined the affair as a "terrible and shocking catastrophe that has become synonymous with tragedy", but ruled that the fault is set at the German 'Humana' company, which took the vitamin out of the baby food sold by Remedia, without the knowledge of the Israeli company.
The Remedia affair which was exposed in 2003, is one of the tragic affairs that took place in Israel, and provoked a huge uproar, after three babies died and another 20 were hospitalized as a result of an error in the production of food for toddlers marketed in Israel by Remedia.
The food was produced by 'Humana', a German company, and a mistake in a laboratory test made it think that the ingredient of vitamin B1 is unnecessary for food marketed in Israel.
Following the affair, the Ministry of Health issued strict guidelines regarding the necessary tests, but also made it clear that one can not be completely sure of avoiding similar incidents in the future.
