Approximately 30,000 cases of Sabra hummus sold throughout the nation have been recalled due to a possibility of Listeria contamination.
Listeria is a common food-borne illness that can be fatal to people who have a weakened immune system, or young children. Common symptoms of Listeria are; high fevers, and nausea in minor cases. Listeria is also linked to causing miscarriages in women who are pregnant.
Currently there haven’t been any reported illnesses associated with the Sabra products.
The Listeria contamination was reportedly discovered during a routine sample which was taken at a retail location, and tested positive. This according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
