Hummus Recall For Listeria Contamination

FDA – On April 8th, 2015 Sabra Dipping Co., LLC announced that it is voluntarily recalling approximately 30,000 cases of its Classic Hummus due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. This measure is limited to five SKUs of Classic Hummus sold nationwide.  To date, no other Sabra product is affected by this recall. 

To date, there had been no reports indicating that these products have cause any illness.

The initial findings of the contamination were brought to light when a positive test result was recorded during a routine inspection from randomly selected products from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

A person who has contracted listeria usually has the following symptoms: fever; muscle aches; diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems. Adults who has listeria will fully recover, however, the case is more severe when the bacteria infects newborns, pregnant women, elderly, and people who have weakened immune systems.
