If you are a hummus fan, it may be time to check your supply. Sabra, a popular hummus manufacturer has issued a voluntary recall of numerous varieties of their product due to the possible risk of Listeria monocytogenes. The concern is with hummus products that were made before November 8, 2016 and were raised when Listeria monocytogenes was identified at the manufacturing facility. Although, the contamination was found at the facility, no contamination of the product has been found during recent testing.

The product was distributed to retail outlets, including food service accounts and U.S. and Canadian supermarkets. The products with the “Best Before” date up through January 23, 2017, should be disposed of. The “Best Before” date and UPC codes can be found on the lid of each package. Products not listed in the recall are not affected. Sabra products not included in the recall are: Sabra Organic Hummus, Sabra Salsa, Sabra Guacamole and Sabra Greek Yogurt Dips are not included in the recall.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious, sometimes fatal infections. Those most at risk for complications are young children, those with weakened immune systems,and elderly people. Symptoms include a high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Listeria infection can also cause miscarriage and stillbirths in pregnant women.
