Sabra Recalls 30,000 Cases of Classic Hummus
Via Sabra.com
Like (non-dairy) milk and (powdered faux) eggs, hummus is a dietary staple for most plant-based eaters. Given its popularity, vegans in particular need to pay attention to Sabra’s recent announcement: the company is issuing a voluntary recall of its Classic Hummus product.
Thus far, there have been no reports of any illnesses caused by Sabra products, but a random sample taken from a Michigan store did test positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
To avoid any issues, the company is recalling products with certain serial numbers. You can check out the full list via the press release.
Listeria monocytogenes, by the way, is a nasty organism that can cause infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and anyone with a weakened immune system. It’s also particularly dangerous for pregnant women.
So, check your Sabra containers for the appropriate SKUs. Questions? Sabra has an information line. Call toll free 1-888-957-2272, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central Time.
