Hummus Sold at Target, Trader Joe's Recalled

No listeria related illness were reported as of Thursday

Nearly 15,000 pounds of hummus and dip products, including some sold at Target and Trader Joe's, were recalled Thursday due to concerns of a possible listeria monocytogenes bacteria contamination, according to the FDA.

The bacteria causes serious and sometimes fatal infections in vulnerable people, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.

Prepared Foods manufacturer, Lasal, Inc. was voluntarily participating in the recall after the potential for contamination was found during a routine test of Target Archer Farms Traditional Hummus by the Texas Department of Health.

A complete list of the products that were recalled and where they were distributed is available on the FDA’s website.

Short-term symptoms of listeria infection included: high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, according to the FDA. Officials also warned that it could cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Vunerable people included: young children, frail or elderly people, and other with weakened immune systems.
