Sabra Recalls Hummus Over Listeria Concerns

Spencer Platt/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Popular hummus brand Sabra is voluntarily recalling some of its products over Listeria concerns.

The bacteria was found at the company’s manufacturing facility, according to a statement from Sabra Dipping Co. LLC, but it was not in tested final product.

Customers who purchased Sabra hummus with an expiration date through January 23, 2017 (the date can be found on the lid of each package) are advised to discard it.

Not included in the recall, Sabra notes, are Sabra Organic Hummus, Sabra Salsa, Sabra Guacamole and Sabra Greek Yogurt Dips.

Some symptoms include high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, the FDA said.
