Sabra Hummus voluntarily recalled over listeria concerns

The company that makes Sabra hummus is voluntarily recalling certain hummus products due to concerns of Listeria monocytogenes.

Sabra Dipping Co., LLC says the Listeria organism was identified at a manufacturing facility, but was not in tested finished products, according to a company-issued press release.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The recall affects hummus products with a "best before" date before and through January 23, 2017. The "best before" date can be located on the lid of each package. An example is shown in the photo above.

Other Sabra products, including organic hummus, salsa, guacamole, and greek yogurt dips, were not included.

Sabra Dipping Co. is urging customers to discard the recalled product.

Consumers can contact Sabra Consumer Relations at 1-866-265-6761 for additional information from 9:00 am to 8:00 PM eastern time. For product reimbursement, consumers can contact www.sabrahummusrecall.com.

The recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
