According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Sabra Dipping Co., LLC, a popular hummus manufacturer, announced today that the company has voluntarily recalled approximately 30,000 cases of its “Classic Hummus” due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and those with weakened immune systems.

According to the FDA, the recall is limited to five SKUs of Classic Hummus sold nationwide. These include Sabra Classic Hummus 10 oz (SKU 040822011143 / 300067); Sabra Classic Hummus 30 oz (SKU 040822014687 / 300074); Sabra Classic Hummus without Garnish 32oz (SKU 040822342049/301216); Sabra Classic Hummus 17oz Six Pack (SKU 040822017497/301290); and Hummus Dual Pack Classic/Garlic 23.5oz (SKU 040822342209/301283). The FDA reports to date, no other Sabra product is affected by this recall.

Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

To date, there have been no reports indicating that these products have caused any illness. The FDA notes that the recall stems from a routine, random sample collected at a retail location on March 30, by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, which tested positive for the organism.
