hechsher

This symbol appears on Trader Joe's Organic Tahini.

I have searched in a lot places, but cannot find it. The product is made in Greece. Anyone know who gives this hechsher and if it is reliable?

Eliyahu Shitrit is no longer in Thessaloniki but in Volos. There is NO Shomer Shabbat community anywhere in Greece. The only reliable Kosher restaurant located in Athens, Greece is operated by Rabbi Mendel Hendel, Chabad Shaliach. The chicken/meat products he uses in his restaurant are imported from France. He also sells them to the public. All the condiments are from Israel but brought into Greece in containers loads from France. He bakes off his own bread & pita. Chabad DOES NOT rely or recommend any products approved as kosher by any rabbis in the community. If you have questions call Chabad. DO NOT BE MISLED by any entity in the US stating that this certification is acceptable at anytime on any product.
