Before you dip your chips and veggies into your hummus, check your refrigerators to ensure that the brand isn’t Sabra with best-before dates up to and including Jan. 23, 2017. The brand has voluntarily recalled their affected products due to Listeria risk. Symptoms of Listeria contamination include vomiting, fever, nausea, severe muscle aches and headaches, and stiffness and can lead to death in severe cases. Those most at risk for severe illness are the elderly, pregnant women, and anyone with a weaker or compromised immune system. A recall of the same products in the U.S. on Saturday precedes this one and was based on contamination found at the manufacturing centre and not in the products themselves. No illnesses have been reported thus far.
