Sabra Dipping Co. LLC of White Plains, NY, has recalled 30,000 cases of Sabra Classic Hummus due to the possible presence of Listeria.
Inspections visited a Kroger outlet in Port Huron, and reportedly learned about the risk of contamination in the prepackaged product. Only the Classic Hummus is being recalled, and no other Sabra products have yet been found affected. There are no reports of illnesses to date.

In healthy individuals, infection with Listeria monocytogenes may cause short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. However, young children, the elderly or those with compromised immune systems can contract serious and sometimes fatal infections. Listeria can also cause miscarriage and stillbirth in pregnant women.
