Everyone Probably Already Ate Recalled Sandwiches And Veggie Trays Made With Potentially Contaminated Hummus

You might remember that earlier this month, Sabra Dipping Co. announced that there was possible Listeria contamination in its hummus, and recalled a variety of sizes and flavors. That hummus was also used in commercial products, which included vegetable trays, sandwiches, and snack boxes.

Those prepared food products have already been consumed or thrown away, which means that either the problem has passed or the bacteria is lurking in the guts of people who ate these products that contained the potentially dangerous hummus.

What should you look for? If you remember eating any of these products, you may want to call your doctor or monitor yourself for symptoms of Listeriosis. You’ll especially want to do that if you or someone you care for falls into a high-risk group: pregnant women, young children, elderly people, and people with compromised immune systems are especially susceptible to complications of Listeria. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, chills, and sometimes nausea and diarrhea.
