Sabra Recalls Hummus Products Over Listeria Concern, Again

Sabra Dipping Company has issued a voluntary recall for some of its hummus products over potential listeria contamination, the manufacturer announced Saturday. 

The decision comes after Sabra’s manufacturing facility tested positive for the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause a serious and potentially deadly infection, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said in a release. (Sabra, headquartered in White Plains, New York, has factories in Virginia, California and New York.)

The affected products were made prior to Nov. 8, and have a “best before” date up to and including Jan. 23, 2017. This date can be found on the lid of each package. The recall does not affect Sabra Organic Hummus and Sabra Guacamole, Sabra Salsa or Sabra Greek Yogurt Dips, according to the FDA.

The full list of recalled products can be seen on the FDA website.
